Stanislaus County will hold vaccination clinics to combat a statewide whooping cough epidemic.

The county's Health Services Agency is targeting its clinics for high-risk populations: postpartum mothers; fathers of newborns; others in the home who might provide care for the infant such as siblings and grandparents (younger than 65); and day-care workers.

The cost is based on a sliding scale of up to $10. No one will be denied a vaccination because of his or her inability to pay.

The clinics will be held on the following dates:

WEDNESDAY

• Ceres Family Resource Center, 2908 Fourth St., 1 to 3 p.m.
• Modesto WIC program, 251 E. Hackett Road, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (closed 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.)
• Riverbank Family Resource Center, 2201 Morrill Road, 9 to 11 a.m.
