Immunization Services
To protect the health of yourself, your family, and your community, it is crucial to stay up-to-date on recommended immunizations. Vaccines are safe, effective, and have significantly reduced the incidence of many dangerous diseases. Protect your loved ones and help build a stronger, healthier community by getting vaccinated.
Vaccine Services at Callaway County Health Department
The Callaway County Health Department offers vaccinations through the Vaccines for Children and Vaccines for Adults program. The health department also offers options to bill private insurance companies or self-pay.
Vaccines for Children Program
The Vaccines for Children (VFC) program provides immunizations to children who meet one of the following criteria:
- Have Medicaid or are Medicaid-eligible
- Do not have health insurance
- Are underinsured (health insurance does not cover some or all vaccines)
- Are American Indian or Alaskan Native
An administration fee is asked for vaccines provided through the VFC program, but the immunization will not be denied for VFC-eligible children due to an inability to pay.
Self-Pay
Please contact our office for more information and pricing.
Vaccines for Adults Program
The Vaccines for Adults (VFA) program provides immunizations to adults who meet one of the following criteria:
- Do not have health insurance
- Are underinsured (health insurance does not cover some or all vaccines)
An administration fee will be charged, due at time of service.
Private Insurance
Through a partnership with VaxCare, we are able to provide vaccines to children and adults. A current insurance card is required at time of service. Fee is dependent on insurance coverage.
Vaccine Schedules
We follow the recommended vaccine schedules provided by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for both children and adults. These schedules outline the vaccines recommended at different ages to provide optimal protection against vaccine-preventable diseases.
