The Chatham County Health Department is offering Meningitis Vaccine Clinics for rising high school seniors. All students in Georgia who are at least 16 years of age must have a meningococcal booster shot when entering 11th grade. Students can even be denied school entry if vaccinations aren’t up to date. Georgia students receive a meningococcal vaccination before entering 7th grade, and this new booster will provide added protection during these peak years of risk. Four meningococcal booster shot events will be held at the Eisenhower Clinic at 1395 Eisenhower Drive. These clinics will be held on Thursday, April 25th and Thursday, May 2nd from 3-6pm. Appointment will be required. To make an appointment or for more information go to https://coastalhealthdistrict.as.me/chatham-teenclinic
