In addition to school supplies and clothes, back-to-school season also means its time for vaccines for some kids.
If you don’t have a well child visit scheduled with a pediatrician or family doctor, there are regularly scheduled vaccine clinics at Franklin County Public Health.
Clinics are available by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, please call (614) 525-3719 or click on the schedule option on the immunization web page.
Many insurance providers are accepted for immunizations. No uninsured or under-insured child is turned away if the cost is not affordable.
Vaccines For Children (VFC) program is a federally funded program that provides vaccines at no cost to children who might not otherwise be vaccinated because of inability to pay.
Items to bring for Vaccine Clinics
- Immunization (shot) record
- Cash or checkbook (FCPH does not take credit/debit cards)
- Insurance card
- Consent form, if the adult bringing in a child is not legal guardian/parent
- Photo ID for adult accompanying child
