Immunization Services

The Nursing Division believes that the provision of immunization services will insure and promote a healthy community by aiding in the control of vaccine preventable diseases. We strive to provide immunization services which are responsive to the needs of our residents.

The Clark County Combined Health District (CCCHD) offers many of the recommended vaccines for both children and adults.

Some vaccines are supplied by the Ohio Department of Health and the Vaccine for Children Program for children 0-18 years of age. These state supplied vaccines are offered for a minimal administration fee. No one will be denied state supplied vaccine due to inability to pay.

CCCHD also purchases additional recommended vaccines for both children and adults that may not be provided from the state. The fee for these vaccines vary due to changing costs from the manufacturers. Please call CCCHD for more information.

Immunizations are available 7:30 a.m. – 5:00 p. m. daily on a walk-in basis, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.  The 1^st and 3^rd Tuesdays of every month the hours are extended to 7:00 p.m. Satellite clinics are held throughout the county on a monthly basis. Call CCCHD for information regarding a site near you.

Immunizations are given according to the schedule recommended by the Centers for Disease Control, Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Ohio Department of Health and per standing order of the Medical Director for the Health District.

Adult clients and the responsible adult of minor children will fill out a questionnaire at each visit regarding health status and any reactions to previous vaccines administered. They have the opportunity to ask questions and have the information on the Vaccine Information Sheets (VIS) clarified if necessary. Clients under the age of eighteen years must be accompanied by a responsible adult to receive services.

If applicable, please bring your Medicaid, CareSource or Molina card with you at time of service.
