Health Officials Launch Start Smart Campaign to Promote Back to School Vaccine Clinics

The Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) has partnered once again with local health departments and other healthcare entities across the state to host summer back-to-school immunization clinics as part of a statewide effort to help families easily access required and recommended school immunizations prior to the start of the 2023-24 school year.

The clinics are open to children ages 5 and older. Families will not be charged at the site of the clinic but should provide insurance information if available.  Dates, times and locations of community immunization clinics can be found online at https://startsmart.health.in.gov.

IDOH is also mailing letters to parents of children whose state immunization records show they are behind on a required immunization.
