Vaccines are offered during walk-in clinic hours at the health department; at the Orrville, Mt. Eaton and Kidron outreach clinics; and at the back-to-school clinic.
A child may be brought to any clinic location regardless of home address. A shot record must accompany each child, and children under 18 years of age must be brought by a parent, legal custodian or person authorized to bring the child for vaccines.
