MEMPHIS, Tenn. — With only a few weeks left before students head back to school, the Shelby County Health Department is making it easier for parents to get the immunizations their children need.

All they have to do is simply stop by the clinic of their choice.

  • Collierville Public Health Clinic
  • Hickory Hill Public Health Clinic
  • Immunization Clinic
  • Millington Public Health Clinic
  • Shelby Crossing Public Health Clinic
  • Southland Mall Public Health Clinic

All of the clinics are open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Parents are reminded that all students who fall into the following categories are required to get at least one shot before the first day of school:

  • Any student attending a childcare facilities
  • Preschool and Kindergarten students
  • Entering seventh grade students
  • New students to Tennessee
  • Students attending college
