CHICAGO (July 24, 2001) – Saint Xavier University and the Chicago Department of Health will be offering immunizations from 9 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, August 21 at the Nursing Center at Saint Xavier, 3700 W. 103rd St., Chicago.

Free early childhood developmental screening will also be available for children ages six months – three years.

Due to a national shortage of Td vaccine and by order of the Health Department, the Nursing Center will not give tetanus boosters to any child over the age of seven. The booster requirement is waived for entry into high school until further notice.

No appointments will be taken and patients will be seen in order of arrival. Limited parking is available. All parents must present immunization records for their children. If you cannot find these records, please contact your physician for a copy. No child will be seen without these records.

A donation of $10 per family is requested.
