PARENTS:  It is important to us that your children receive their immunizations. We have worked to make it convenient for you. We have developed Fast Track in the first floor  clinic area .When a nurse isn’t available in the third floor clinic area during your visit you will be able to come downstairs and receive immunizations in a certain area without waiting with other patients for this clinic area. Please take advantage of this Fast Track and help protect against vaccine preventable diseases.
