The ultimate goal of the health department is that every man, woman, and child receive all recommended vaccines.  The following immunizations are available by appointment.


Adults

  • Tetanus is available for residents (with an injury) over the age of 18 with an order from their physician. Hepatitis A/B vaccines are provided based on availability of funds and vaccine.  Please call for more information.

  • Seasonal Flu shots are provided based on availability of funds and vaccine.


Children

  • Required immunizations are provided to preschool and school age children who are uninsured, underinsured, or have Missouri HealthNet (MC+).  To receive immunizations, children under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian present and have appropriate records available.


Calling ahead to ensure that the appropriate nursing staff are available is recommended.
