Immunizations

immunizations

CHS' Gable Rd clinic provides all childhood and some adult immunizations. We provide immunizations for children through the Vaccines For Children program. The VFC program is a federal program to provide vaccines for children that do not have health insurance or have medicaid (OHP) insurance.
Immunizations are also available to children and adults with private health insurance.

A new state law recently went into effect. Please check into the new rules for excluding your child from immunizations.
