Health center offers free child vaccinations
Free vaccinations against tetanus, H1N1, hepatitis B, measles and other diseases are being offered by The Effort's Oak Park Community Health Center throughout the week to mark National Infant Immunization Week.
Shots are not limited to infants, clinic officials said. Free vaccinations are available for all children 17 and younger.
Despite recent gains in infant immunization coverage, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that just 52 percent of children ages 19 to 35 months had received all the recommended vaccinations, according to clinic officials.
The nonprofit health center is at 3415 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. To make an appointment, call (916) 233-4910.
