Posted on Nov 26 2011
Effective Nov. 23, 2011, the Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation’s Immunization Clinic, located at the Commonwealth Health Center on Lower Navy Hill, will open five days a week, Monday to Friday, from 7:30am to 4:30pm, including lunch hours, primarily to accommodate students in need of their required immunizations for school entrance, as mandated by Public Law 6-10.
Public Law 6-10 requires all school children to be up to date with required immunizations prior to enrolling in any public or private school in the CNMI. Parents are urged to comply with this mandate and to contact the Immunization Program for further assistance.
Furthermore, parents of children who are not enrolled in school yet are also urged to make sure their children are up to date with all their immunizations and to visit the Immunization Clinic or any private clinic, including Tinian Health Center and Rota Health Center if their children are not fully immunized with their required shots. No appointment is necessary at the CHC Immunization Clinic and all vaccines are provided at no cost.
For more information, contact the Immunization Clinic at 236-8745 or 236-8708/80/81.
