The Oneida County Health Department, along with the Camden Central School District, is setting up a mobile vaccination clinic to offer vaccines to school-aged children.
The event will take place at Camden High School, 55 Oswego St, Camden on September 14th from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for grades K-12 who attend Camden School District.
“We recognize that residents and families may have some challenges to staying up to date on vaccines,” said Oneida County Executive Anthony J. Picente Jr. “This mobile public health unit allows us to remove some of those barriers and lend a helping hand to those in need.”
Appointments for the mobile clinics are preferred, as walk-in availability will vary. To schedule an appointment or if you have questions, please call Oneida County Health Department at 315-798-5747.
In New York State, children attending school must receive all required doses of vaccines on the recommended schedule to attend or remain in school. This is true unless they have a valid medical exemption to immunization. If not up to date with vaccinations, children could be excluded from attending school.

“Vaccines are an extremely valuable tool to protect the community and our children from serious and deadly diseases,” said Oneida County Health Director Daniel W. Gilmore, Ph.D., MPH.
