SUMMARY:
Several county health departments in Mississippi will host special walk-in clinics for back-to-school immunizations.

Mississippi mandates immunizations for first-time school entry and 7th-grade entry, requiring a Certificate of Immunization Compliance (Form 121). The article lists various counties, dates, and locations for the clinics. Form 121 can be obtained from the child's immunization provider or through the MSDH MyIR service.
