Montgomery Co. Hosts Free Student Vaccination Clinics
The Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services will host free vaccination clinics for students during spring break.
ROCKVILLE, MD āFree vaccination clinics will be made available to Montgomery County students during the school year's spring break, officials announced Tuesday.
The initiative is part of an effort to ensure all students are up to date on their vaccinations and aren't turned away from school events for not meeting the district's vaccine guidelines.
The clinics will be held at four locations during spring break, from March 30 to April 6. The vaccinations will be available to students regardless of their insurance coverage.

āWe donāt want any student missing class because they couldnāt get an appointment or couldnāt afford a shot. Thatās why Montgomery County is offering these clinics during Spring Break in order to make it easy for families to get this done while school is out," said County Executive Marc Elrich.
