Kriedeman: Really those public health clinics are for those in the recommended groups – including children – who don’t have access to private providers such as a school.
Kriedeman says the vaccine will be free, but participants have to schedule an appointment. The clinics begin Friday, Nov 20th and will be held at six locations across the state.
