Fire, health departments to hold vaccination drive Saturday in South Bend - South Bend Tribune

SOUTH BEND — The St. Joseph County Department of Health and the South Bend Fire Department are teaming up to hold a vaccination drive as local schools prepare to resume for the upcoming school year.

The drive-thru 'Vaccination Blitz' will take place Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon at the Central Fire Station on Michigan Street in South Bend and is open to kindergartners, sixth graders and 12th graders. 

The health and fire departments ask that participants bring their picture student identification, vaccination records and any applicable insurance information. Participants will also be required to wear a mask and observe social distancing guidelines.

Those without insurance, or whose insurance does not fully cover vaccinations, will be charged a $12 administration fee.

In November, The Tribune reported that 1,000 students in kindergarten, sixth grade and 12th grade in South Bend schools — 28% of the total in those grades — weren't up to date on immunizations.
