Cumberland County Dept. of Public Health to offer evening clinics for back-to-school immunizations

By Staff Report, posted 1 year ago

The Cumberland County Department of Public Health will be offering Back-to-School Immunizations Evening Clinics in the Health Department, located at 1235 Ramsey St. in Fayetteville. The evening clinics will be held on the second Tuesday of June 2025, July 2025 and August 2025, and are available for students entering kindergarten, grade seven and grade 12.

Evening Clinic Details:

  • June 10, 2025, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
  • July 8, 2025, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
  • Aug.12, 2025, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

"We encourage parents to come early in the summer to avoid the back-to-school rush. When children receive all their immunizations on time, our whole community benefits,” said  Health Director Dr. Jennifer Green in a press release. “High childhood vaccination rates help to create community immunity, which offers widespread protection against contagious diseases." 

Walk-ins will be accepted each day until the clinic reaches capacity. No walk-ins will be accepted after 6:30 p.m. Vaccines will be billed for adults and children with insurance.

However, through the “Vaccines for Children” program, vaccines will be free for children under 18 years who do not have insurance, or whose insurance does not cover immunizations. Customers must bring a photo I.D., immunization records (if available), and insurance cards.

Registration forms are available online at cumberlandcountync.gov/immunizations and may be completed in advance.  

All students entering grade seven are required to obtain a Tdap and meningococcal conjugate vaccine before starting school. As of Aug. 1, 2020, a booster dose to protect against meningococcal disease is required for adolescents entering grade 12, or by age 17—whichever comes first.

Residents who require transportation assistance to the Health Department immunizations evening clinics may call 910-433-3600.

A full list of required immunizations, as required by state law, can be found on the Cumberland County Schools Immunizations & Health Assessment webpage here.

In accordance with state law, parents and caregivers have 30 calendar days from the first day of attendance to present the required immunization record and health assessment transmittal form for the child. After 30 calendar days, students will not be allowed to attend school until the required immunizations and health assessment transmittal form has been presented.

Those unable to attend one of these events may obtain their required immunizations at the Health Department, Monday through Thursday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. For more information about immunizations, visit cumberlandcountync.gov/publichealth or call 910-433-3707.
