Judson ISD Families Encouraged to Take Advantage of Free Teen Vaccination Clinic in San Antonio on April 4
For many Judson ISD families, keeping up with required and recommended teen vaccines can feel like one more task in an already busy schedule. A new community vaccination clinic in San Antonio is aiming to make that process easier—while helping families protect their children’s long-term health.
On April 4, 2026, University Health will host a Community Teen Vaccination Clinic at Empower House, offering essential adolescent vaccines in one convenient location. The event is designed to remove common barriers—like scheduling challenges or access to care—while giving families a simple, local opportunity to stay up to date.
Why This Matters for Judson ISD Families

For families in Judson ISD and across Bexar County, staying current on immunizations supports both individual health and overall school community safety.
The clinic is especially helpful for families preparing for middle school and high school requirements, where updated immunization records are often necessary for enrollment and participation.
As highlighted in the clinic flyer, the message to families is simple: “It’s ALL for them. Get all the vaccines.”
