Hoby and some of his naturalist friends will be joining the conversation to help us learn more about the science of EHC and help us all gain a deeper connection to nature.

    To register to attend the LightHouse vaccination clinic at 1155 Market Street, you will first need to make an appointment by calling the Vaccine Call Center at 628-652-2700.

Vaccines for children ages 5-11 years old will not be available at the LightHouse, however staff can refer to other sites in the city offering pediatric vaccines.
