Congressman Gene Green (D-Texas) will host his 12th Annual Immunization Day on Saturday, August 4, 2007. In addition to providing free immunizations for children, the day’s event, which will be held at four different elementary schools in the 29th Congressional District, will give parents an opportunity to speak with Congressman Green about preventive health initiatives.
“Immunizations are one of the most important disease prevention steps we can take to protect our children,” said Congressman Green. “I hope that people will take advantage of our Immunization Day. It’s a benefit for our children and our community.”
Every year several elementary schools are selected to host the event. Rep. Green would like to thank the healthcare groups that have helped make Immunization Day a success: The Almatha Clark Taylor School Based Clinic, the Texas Children’s Hospital Mobile Clinic, and the Harris County Public Health and Environmental Services-Humble and Baytown Clinics.
