MADISON, Wis. -- With the school year in full swing, Public Health Madison & Dane County is reminding parents to stay up-to-date on their child's immunizations.

PHMDC in partnership with SSM Health, UW Health, MMSD, Verona Area School District and Group Health Cooperative are offering free vaccines at Madison area clinics.

All vaccines that are required for school will be available, including meningitis and pertussis as well as COVID-19, and flu. The vaccines are free for school-aged kids 5 and older. Appointments are strongly recommended and can be scheduled online.

The clinics will be held at the following locations:

• Monday, Oct 7: Mendota Elementary School (4002 School Rd, Madison) noon to 4.
