Kathleen Napier, Director of Nursing for Cabell-Huntington Health Department, commented, “Summer is such a busy season, and students will be returning to school soon. As a convenience to parents and guardians, and to beat the back-to-school rush, we are happy to offer this evening clinic to make sure their children are caught up on required vaccinations. We are also grateful to our community partners who will be joining us to make this fun event happen. We have had excellent participation for our after-hours clinics and plan to continue offering them through the fall.”
