    Free Immunizations Available

    Keeping your family protected against preventable diseases is one of the most important things you can do for their health — and cost should never be a barrier.


    Why Immunizations Matter

    Vaccines protect against serious illnesses like measles, whooping cough, meningitis, and influenza. Staying up to date helps protect:

    • Infants and young children
    • Pregnant women
    • Older adults
    • Individuals with weakened immune systems

    Immunizations don’t just protect the person receiving them — they help prevent outbreaks and protect our entire community.
