All clinics accept appointments and walk-ins, the health department said. The clinics may stop registering new patients 30 to 90 minutes early if capacity is reached.
“The next few weeks are the busiest time of the year for our clinics and we want to make sure we are able to accommodate the rush we know is coming,” said Richard May, manager of the department's clinical services division. “It isn’t just about meeting a school requirement. Immunization is one of the most fundamental steps we can take to protect the health of our children.”
