The Indiana Department of Health is bringing back the Start Smart vaccination program 

The Indiana Department of Health has partnered with local health departments and other healthcare entities across the state, to host summer back-to-school immunization clinics helping make sure families can easily access required and recommended school immunizations prior to the start of the 2023-24 school year.

Now in its second year, the Start Smart campaign includes a map showing dates, times, and locations of community immunization clinics. The map can be found at startsmart.health.in.gov

The clinics are open to children ages 5 and older, and families will not be charged at the clinic but should provide insurance information if available.

IDOH is also mailing letters to parents of children whose state immunization records show they are behind on a required immunization.
