A local mobile medical center returns to northern Nevada this week to provide the required meningococcal vaccine at two middle schools and three community events. Nevada students enrolling for seventh grade in the next school year at any public or private school, are required to receive the new vaccination known as MCV4. University of Nevada students under the age of 23 enrolled for the 2017 fall semester must also receive this vaccination. Medicine on the Move, a partnership between Southwest Medical and Health Plan of Nevada, will provide children’s sick and well visits, immunizations and shots as well as sports and annual physicals. The first is today at Cold Springs Middle School 7am to 3pm.
