Stay Ahead of the Tide. Get Vaccinated.
As families prepare for the upcoming school year, Modesto City Schools Health Services is offering free vaccine clinics to help eligible students meet California's school immunization requirements.
California law requires students entering Transitional Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and grades 1–12 to be up to date on required immunizations before attending school. Students entering 7th grade must also receive a Tdap booster before the start of the school year.
In partnership with St. Luke's Family Practice, Modesto City Schools is providing free vaccines through the Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program for Medi-Cal-eligible and uninsured children up to age 19.
