Parents of children needing their immunizations before the start of school will have some extra time to get that issue taken care of.

A spokesperson with the Bartholomew County Health Department says that it will be extending its hours on Monday, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. for that very issue. The health department says that an appointment must be scheduled in advance and that immunizations will be administered at their new location, 2675 Foxpointe Drive, Suite B.

For more information, call the health department at (812) 379-1555, option 1, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
