Immunizations

The Health Department provides childhood immunizations free of charge. Adult immunizations are offered at our cost.

We also offer Menomune vaccine which helps protect against the most common types of Bacterial Meningococal disease. This immunization is recommended for all college freshmen. There are NO income guidelines. Flu shots are available in the Fall.

Appointments are required for all immunizations. Please click here to find the location nearest to you.

Overseas immunizations can be given with a doctor's order. For required overseas immunizations check out the CDC website.
