ABC-7 at 4: City of El Paso hosts Free Infant Immunizations on Wednesday

The city of El Paso’s Public Health Department is hosting free immunization clinics for eligible families on Wednesday.

Those who are eligible include babies from age birth to two years, and who are on Medicaid, CHIP, are underinsured, or have no insurance.

Public health officials say this is a good opportunity to promote the importance of immunizations against measles and other illnesses as the first level of prevention to stop the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases.

They stress that it is exceptionally vital to recognize the importance of protecting infants from vaccine-preventable diseases.

Vaccines will be offered at the city’s Ysleta Clinic at 110 Candelaria Road and at the Henderson Clinic at 721 S. Mesa Street.

Hours of operation are from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with the last patients seen at 5:00 p.m.

They will see both scheduled patients and walk-ins.
