The Coastal Health District of Georgia serves the counties of Bryan, Camden, Chatham, Effingham, Glynn, Liberty, Long & McIntosh
The Liberty County Health Department will host a back to school clinic from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, July 27, at the health department located at 1113 E. Oglethorpe Hwy. in Hinesville. No appointment is necessary and all students will be seen on a first come, first served basis.
Immunizations* help protect students of all ages against certain diseases which is why certain vaccinations are required before students can enter school. The Liberty County Health Department will hold two Back to School clinics in July to make it convenient for parents to get children immunized and beat the back to school rush. In addition to necessary immunizations, students will also be able to get a hearing, vision, dental, and nutrition screening which is required for any student entering a Georgia school for the first time.
*Effective July 1, 2014, children born on or after January 1, 2002 who are attending seventh grade must have received one dose of tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) and meningococcal (meningitis) immunizations prior to entering school. For more information on required vaccines, click HERE.
