Vaccines for Children (VFC Program)

There is a $20.00 administration fee per vaccine for children who qualify for VFC vaccine. Contact the health department for eligibility requirements.
Adult Immunizations
Immunizations are not just for kids. Regardless of age, we all need immunizations to keep us healthy. With time, immunity from childhood immunizations can wear off and you may be at risk for new and different diseases.
Immunizations are provided by appointment. Please bring immunization records with you to your appointment.
