San Angelo ISD to Host Opportunity for State-Required Immunizations for Middle Schoolers this Saturday at Lincoln Middle School

San Angelo ISD will host an optional immunization clinic in partnership with Shannon Medical Center to provide SAISD families accessible opportunities for middle school students to get Texas-required immunizations this Saturday, October 23rd from 9:00 am to noon at Lincoln Middle School (located at 255 Lake View Heroes Dr., San Angelo, TX 76903). 

Texas law provides that immunizations must be up to date for a student to attend school. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to provide the updated records to your child’s campus.  Immunizations available on-site at the clinics will include TDAP and Meningococcal (MCV4), required for 7th graders in Texas, as well as opportunities for optional Flu and COVID-19 vaccines for students 12 years of age and older. Students/families can attend immunization clinics at any campus. It does not have to be their home campus.

Additional details include:

  • No pre-registration is required, and walk-ins are welcome
  • A parent or guardian must accompany students, and will need to sign consent paperwork prior to immunizations
  • Please bring picture IDs, student shot records and insurance cards. Picture ID must be presented to receive immunizations
  • Payment information: Please bring insurance information if you plan to get your student TDAP and Meningococcal (MCV4) immunizations. COVID-19 vaccinations are free and Flu vaccinations are $35 if no insurance. Personal checks and insurance accepted (no cash or credit cards). If you are submitting insurance, no payment is required at the time of service, but you must bring your insurance card.
  • Shannon staff will administer the immunizations 
  • For the Covid-19 Vaccine: Vaccine available: Pfizer, two-dose vaccine. Vaccine is free, and no form of payment will be necessary. The decision to elect to be vaccinated is the individual’s decision.
