INDIANAPOLIS — A local urgent care is taking some of its services outside the clinic to make sure children are vaccinated before the new school year.
Giving vaccinations is keeping everyone busy at Children Express Care Clinic, located off of Emerson Avenue and 56th Street.
WRTV Co-owner of the clinic, Taquita Taylor, wants parents and students to be ready for school.
“Mostly school required immunizations is your Hep. A, Hep B, DTAP, you also have meningitis vaccine and Proquad,” Taylor said. “I know some of these schools will have deadlines and will say, ‘Uh oh, you can’t come back yet if you aren’t vaccinated.'”

It’s part of the reason the clinic hosted a free back-to-school giveaway at Skyzone in Castleton from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday.
More than 300 kids received school supplies, sports physicals, hair cuts and more.
WRTV “We know it can be challenging for some parents, and we don’t want any parents to feel they are burdened,” Taylor said.
