Shots Across Texas is one of UTMB Montgomery County Health Department’s greatest opportunities to partner with other organizations and make a tangible difference in the lives of Montgomery County children.

The event, held the last Saturday before school begins, provides free immunizations for kids ranging in age from infant to 18. This year's campaign was held on August 25, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Peet Junior High School in Conroe. 

During Shots Across Texas 2007, volunteers gave a total of 2105 immunizations to 694 children!

The event was organized by UTMB’s Montgomery County Health Department and made possible through the work of nearly 200 volunteers. Conroe Independent School District, Conroe Regional Medical Center, Memorial Hermann Hospital - The Woodlands, the Montgomery County Hospital District and Lone Star Family Practice sent volunteer vaccinators and medical advisors.  Other volunteers included members of the Conroe ISD Academy for Science and Health Professions and Community Outreach group, as well as the Conroe Hispanic Alliance and the Sherriff's Citizens Academy Alumni Association.
