Located at 3966 McKinney Avenue, just north of Blackburn Street, Church of the Incarnation Episcopal hosts a Free Back to School Immunization Clinic on Saturday, Aug. 24 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. The event is free to the public and is an easy way to bring your child’s shots up to date. It is sponsored by Church of the Incarnation with immunizations provided by Texas Care Van. Also participating are the Dallas County Medical Society Alliance, Agape Clinic, Uptown Dallas Police, North Texas Food Bank and North Dallas Shared Ministries. This will be the last health fair before school starts. Free Meningitis and whooping cough vaccines will be included in the vaccines offered. Free student sports physicals will also be given. First come, first served. Participants need to bring their immunization records.

Immunizations are important, Safe, and Effective

Vaccines are free to:
