BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Adventist Health Bakersfield will be back offering free childhood immunizations throughout November.
The mobile clinics help ensure families receive access to essential vaccines for preventable diseases and are open to the public, organizers said.
Organizers said the clinics are available for children under the age of 18 who do not have insurance, enrolled in Medi-Cal or are of American Indian or Native Alaskan descent.
Appointments can be made for children under the age of five by calling 661-869-6740. Appointments aren’t necessary for children under five, organizers said.
Organizers said children under the age of five, along with their siblings, will be given service priority because of grant funding received through First 5 Kern.
Officials said immunization cards are required for all visits and that free Hemoglobin testing is available for children and expectant or postpartum mothers, with a school or doctor’s referral required.
