2022 Back to School Events at Our Blue Door Neighborhood CenterSM Locations
As “back to school” sales remind us of the end of summer, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) is working with the Chicago Department of Public Health on a series of free vaccination clinics for the whole family. Clinics will take place at all of our Blue Door Neighborhood Center (BDNCSM) locations. Your patients also can find out about COVID-19 vaccinations for children ages 6 months and older. The clinics will continue into October 2022.
While vaccines are important to help kids get a jump start on a healthy school year, we’re also planning to have some fun. We’ll host back to school events with no-cost school supplies, resources on youth programming and education about healthy school snacks.
