Immunization Program Modifies Hours of Operation

Beginning April 1^st 2013, the City of El Paso Department of Public Health will be offering extended hours to clients by staying open until 8:00 p.m. on Thursdays. The changes come after more than 2,000 surveys were administered in March of 2011 and 2012. The documents were reviewed to see what clients felt could be done to improve service.

“The change to our operational hours will make immunization services more accessible to working parents without having to miss work; in addition, children will not miss school when they need immunizations,” said Alejandra Rodarte, Public Health Supervisor.

As part of the changes, all Immunization Centers will be closed on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The following is the new schedule of operations:

Northeast & Westside

Monday – Wednesday: 7 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Thursday:  9 a.m. – 8 p.m.

Ysleta, Tigua & Henderson

Monday – Wednesday:  6:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.

Thursday:  9 a.m. – 8 p.m.
