Free immunization clinics in Wicomico County

With the new school year right around the corner, parents are getting their kids vaccinations up to date.

To help  parents out,  the Wicomico County Health Department will be hosting free immunization clinics from now until October. We're told parents with students in Kindergarten through 11th grade, are eligible to participate.

Due to the state's new requirements, officials say they have been helping to make sure all students are up to date.

Directors of the clinics hope this free opportunity will relieve some of parents' stress.

"There are a lot of needs for parents that are working or un insured. So we offer these clinics to keep kids in school," says Kelly Shockley, program manager.

There are at least 10 remaining free clinic days happening at the Fitz Health Center.
