 Illinois law requires students to be immunized against certain
preventable diseases and LCDPH is available to provide your family
with all the vaccines to meet the requirement. Illinois law also
requires students entering kindergarten, sixth and ninth grades to
have a physical examination. SIU’s medical staff is available to
serve you by providing school physical and sports exams in addition
to meeting your family’s complete medical needs.
LCDPH, SIU and their caring and professional staff are pleased to
partner in the prevention effort to ensure all families and their
children are protected and assured healthy for the start of the
school year.
To encourage families to stop in before the end of the summer rush
and to help promote the community, LCDPH is offering free Logan
Lanes bowling game passes, Lincoln Park District one-day pool passes
and Fit Zone passes while supplies last to families who receive back
to school immunization services during the month of July.
