If the child has private insurance (ex: Blue Cross, Coventry...),
contact their doctor's office to receive the needed vaccinations.
The vaccine we have is provided by the State for uninsured, underinsured and Healthwave Insurance.
The cost of each shot is $14.80 for children 18 and under.
Like most of our services it may be available to you at a lesser cost.
Bring in proof of income to see if you qualify.
If your child has a Healthwave card, it will cover the cost of the immunizations. Please bring in their Healthwave card and a copy of their immunization records at the time shots are given.
