Immunizations

immunizations

CHS's clinics provide 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.

We do not offer travel immunizations that are not also routine in the United States. See list of available immunizations below.

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