Summer 2026: Vaccination Clinics

Each summer, the school division coordinates with the Botetourt County Health Department to plan free clinics to help families take care of required vaccinations for rising 7th and 12th-grade students. Although these clinics are completely free for families, the Botetourt County Health Department collects insurance information for billing purposes. This helps cover the cost to the county. In instances where an insurance company does not cover the cost of vaccination, families will not be billed.

Pre-registration for the immunization clinics is required. Parents should call the Botetourt County Health Department to register.
