Free Back-to-School Immunizations Across Miami-Dade This Weekend

Back-to-school season is here (yes, already)—and if your kid still needs their immunizations, Miami-Dade County has your back.

In partnership with the Florida Department of Health and Community Health Centers, free immunizations will be available at 11 locations across the county on Saturday, August 9.

To take advantage, parents or guardians must be present and bring their child’s immunization records. Most locations recommend or require an appointment, so don’t wait until the last minute.
