ROUTINE VACCINES
Routine vaccines are provided for all children 6 months - 18 years of age. Charges are on a sliding scale, based on your family income and the number of persons in your household. See the Vaccines page for more information about vaccines for adults and international travel.
A parent or legal guardian should accompany any minor less than 18 years of age to all vaccination appointments. If you are the legal guardian, please bring all documentation including a court order and/or custody paperwork that supports guardianship. Please bring any previous immunization records to all appointments.
In the event a parent or guardian cannot accompany a minor patient to their appointment, they must provide verbal consent to a provider by phone during the appointment, or submit a signed Parental Consent Form (see below) acknowledging review of online Vaccine Information Statements and consent for specific vaccines used.
