DOCS Medical Group Teams Up with Bridgeport to Offer Free Summer Vaccinations for Kids

The Bridgeport Department of Health, with DOCS Medical Group, is providing free vaccinations for children in Bridgeport, CT, throughout the summer.

BRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT, USA, July 22, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- DOCS Medical Group is excited to announce a new partnership with Bridgeport Department of Health & Social Services to provide free vaccinations for children residing in Bridgeport throughout the summer.

This initiative aims to ensure that all children in the community are healthy and ready for the upcoming school year.

Children can receive these vital vaccinations at NO COST, AND INSURANCE IS NOT REQUIRED to participate.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to visit the DOCS Urgent Care & Primary Care - Bridgeport website or call to make an appointment for their child. This collaborative effort underscores the commitment to public health and the well-being of Bridgeport’s youth.

Why Vaccinations Are Crucial

As mandated by Connecticut regulations, children are required to receive vaccinations at specific age milestones. These vaccinations are crucial for maintaining children's health while they are enrolled in school, as they protect against various preventable diseases that could otherwise lead to serious health issues.

“Making sure your children are up-to-date with their vaccinations is one of the most important steps you can take to protect their health and the health of others,” said DOCS Medical Group. “We are committed to making these vaccinations accessible to all children in Bridgeport,” they added.
