Loading up Helen Target, a nurse volunteer, fills a syringe at the Strong Elementary School Immunization clinic last week. Target was one of over a dozen volunteers who helped the clinic operate like a well-oiled machine. “The last time the school saw an immunization operation on this scale was nearly 50 years ago for polio,” said veteran teacher June Flagg.
