Back-2-School Health Clinic

ABOUT US

iStock-468284262.jpg

Project LINK, Inc is the administrative arm of the Back-to-School Coalition of Hillsborough County.

 

The Coalition consists of medical collaboratives that include BayCare, USF Health, Tampa General Hospital, Florida Dept of Health- Hillsborough, South University, University of Tampa Nursing, Florida Chapter of American Academy of Pediatrics, and Hillsborough County Public Schools health services.

 

Our focus is to ensure school-aged children are provided with shot records transfers, school-required routine vaccinations, and/or school physicals to meet enrollment requirements for Hillsborough County Public or charter Schools.

Our clinics are held annually during the summer, and advance registration is required.

​

To be eligible to attend a Back-2-School Health Clinic, children must be uninsured, underinsured, or enrolled in Medicaid and meet one of the following criteria:

​

  • Newly enrolling in Hillsborough County Public Schools or a Hillsborough County public charter school

  • Entering 7th grade and in need of the required Tdap booster immunization

  • Entering Kindergarten, and must be 5 years old on or before September 1st of the current school year

 

Please note:

Children with private/commercial insurance are not eligible for services at these clinics.

If you are unsure whether your coverage qualifies, please verify that your plan is Medicaid before registering.​​

​


If your child attended a Hillsborough County Public or Charter School last year, he/she DOES NOT require another school physical this academic year for enrollment. Hillsborough County School District only requires one (1) physical during a child’s K – 12 tenure. Please see the child's primary care physician for an annual check-up. 

​

If your child requires an Immunization or Immunization Record Transfer/Update, you MUST upload a copy of the immunization record during registration and bring a hard copy of his/her shot records with you at the time of the appointment.  NO EXCEPTIONS!

​

If your child is transferring from a private school or coming from another State or Country and his/her immunization is up to date, but requires Immunization records transferred to a Florida Form DH-680, you must bring his/her current shot records with you to process the transfer. You can also contact the Florida Department of Health (813) 307-8000 for this service.


To protect the health of patients and staff, we are limiting the number of Immunizations and School Physicals offered, in addition to restricting attendance to only the parent(s) or guardian of the child(ren)receiving medical services.
