U.S. IMMUNIZATION NEWS
Shot in the Arm
Houston Chronicle (www.chron.com) (07/10/03) P. 1; Bobb, Maurice
The Greater Houston Mobile Health Forum has put together a coordinated summer calendar for back-to-school vaccinations, hoping to encourage parents to begin the immunization process early. The forum, which is facilitated by St. Lukes Episcopal Health Charities, has 18 mobile units. Parents should come with their children and bring their childrens immunization records; the immunization services are free but are not intended for those with private insurance. The mobile units are intended to reach lower-income families who lack transportation, and will visit school campuses.
