Oklahoma Caring Van offering free immunizations in Tulsa

The Oklahoma Caring Van will be in Tulsa this week to provide free immunizations to children in need, part of an ongoing effort to make preventive health care more accessible for families across the state.

Free Shots for Children Available May 6 and May 9

The mobile clinic will be stationed at Tulsa’s Mingo WIC on Tuesday, May 6, and Friday, May 9, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Immunizations are available at no cost, and no insurance is required.

Families are asked to bring a current shot record, and all children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Helping Eliminate Barriers to Preventive Care

Operated by the Oklahoma Caring Foundation, Inc., the Caring Van program is designed to eliminate obstacles that often prevent families from receiving timely vaccinations. Since launching in 1999, the program has helped thousands of children stay protected against preventable diseases.

Licensed nurses administer the vaccines aboard the specially outfitted vans, and records are uploaded to the Oklahoma State Immunization Information System (OSIIS) to keep children's health histories up to date.
