District Health Department #10 to host School Readiness Clinics in August

WEST MICHIGAN, MI. -- District Health Department No. 10 will host a series of "Ready, Set, Go" school readiness clinics throughout the month of August.

The clinics will have vision and hearing screenings, dental screenings, immunizations, and a chance to meet Spiderman and Elsa. The District Health Department 10 serves 10 counties, including Lake, Mason, Mecosta, Newaygo and Oceana in our listening area.

Michigan law requires children to be up-to-date with required immunizations on or before the first day of school/childcare.

The health department is inviting parents of children or adolescent ages 3-19 that need immunizations, or visual and hearing screenings, to register. Residents can register by calling 888-217-3904.

The Revised School Code (Act 451 of 1976, section 380.1177) requires that parents of children entering kindergarten present a statement to school officials confirming that they have received the Michigan Department of Community Health Vision Screening OR a statement, signed by a licensed eye care practitioner (optometrist or ophthalmologist) or medical/osteopathic physician, indicating that a child’s eyes have been examined at least once after age three and before initial school entry may also be presented.
