Tonight Spartanburg District 7 trustees will vote on a free immunization program that would make vaccines available for all sixth graders.
It's called the "adolescent immunization program" and includes a vaccine against the Human Papilloma Virus.
Last year, the pilot program drew criticism from a few community members after the HPV vaccine was offered only to girls at Mary Wright and Cleveland Elementary Schools.
The program also offers free vaccines against Tetanus, Dipetheria, Whooping Cough and Meningitis.
