About Our Childhood Immunization Clinic
The Union County Health Department is committed ot providing immunization services to all children ages 2 months to 18 years of age. We offer vaccines through the "Vaccines for Children" program or VFC and are able to provide these vaccines for children who are uninsured, under-insured or on medicaid. We do not accept private insurance for our immunization clinic but offer a sliding fee schedule to those without insurance. Please bring your child's shot record to the appointment.
Cost for immunizations:
- $10/dose for shots
- $20 office visit fee
Our childhood immunization clinics are by appointment only and serve children ages 2 months to 12 years of age. Children 12 years and older can also be immunized during our Adult Walk-In Clinic without an appointment on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays from 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 - 4:00 p.m.

Back to School Immunizations
Is your child getting ready to enter school? Please check with the school that they will be attending for a list of required immunizations for school. Recommendations and requirements for school- age immunizations have recently been updated. Children entering kindergarten as of September 2010 are required to have 2 varicella immunizations. Children entering Seventh Grade are now required to have a TDAP booster. If your child does not have the required immunizations by state law they may be excluded from school until they receive them. Please be advised that the clinics in the last few weeks of August tend to be the busiest, so get your child up to date on their immunizations as early as possible! Not sure what they need? Contact your local school district or speak to the Immunization Nurse at the Union County Health Department by calling 937-642-2053.
