NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — It is the last week of July and it's hard to believe it's already time for students to get ready to go back to school.
The Metro Nashville Health Department is sending a notice about changes to their clinical hours to help your children get the immunizations they need before going back to school.
Starting this week clinics will open earlier and stay open a little later until August 23rd.
The Lentz location on Charlotte Avenue is now open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The East location on East Trinity Lane is only expanding their hours on Tuesdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The Woodbine Location on Oriel Avenue they'll now be open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
All children initially entering Metro schools must have a health examination with these immunizations. The immunization records window will also stay open until 5:30 p.m. to help parents get through the paperwork.
Journalism is at its best when we can shine a light on an issue that needs more attention. Once again, Hannah McDonald does this beautifully by highlighting the hardships of teens aging out of the foster care system. I learned something new in her reporting and am inspired by the work I AM NEXT is doing to make a difference. I think you will be too!
