Vaccinate Broward, which took place at 10 select Broward Health and Memorial Primary Care locations in Broward County, offered vaccinations for children and young adults ages 4-20, including any child who had fallen behind on his or her vaccination schedule and those planning to go to college in the fall.

Vaccinations included:

  • DTaP: Diphtheria, Tetanus, Acellular Pertussis (Whooping Cough)
  • IPV: Inactivated Poliovirus
  • MMR: Measles-Mumps-Rubella
  • Varicella: Chickenpox
  • HPV: Human Papillomavirus Infection
  • Tdap: Tetanus, Diphtheria, Acellular Pertussis (Whooping Cough)
