The clinic is open to students in the Bristol Borough, Bristol Township, and Morrisville Borough school districts.
The Pennsylvania Department of Health requires students to be vaccinated against tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, and varicella. Additional requirements apply to students entering the seventh and 12th grades.

Schools can deny admission to students who have not received a required single-dose vaccine by the first day of the school year.
Exemptions can be granted for parents who submit written opposition based on “a religious or strong moral or ethical conviction opposing immunizations,” according to the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
Organizers of the clinic urged parents to ensure their children are vaccinated before the start of the school year.
