Community Immunizations

Immunization Information:


Childhood Immunizations:


The Community Immunization Clinic offers childhood vaccinations through the federal Vaccines for Children Program. An administration fee of $15 per dose is requested. However, no VFC eligible child will be refused service due to inability to pay.

Lead screening is available for children ages six months through six years of age.

Payments can be made by cash, check, or credit card. Families who have health insurance that covers immunizations are asked to receive their vaccinations from their private provider. Parents of children on Oregon Health Plan (OHP) must present their current medical coverage ID at the time of the visit.

Adult Immunizations:


The Community Immunization Clinic offers a variety of immunization services for adults including vaccines, blood draws for antibody testing (titers) and TB testing.

Individuals who qualify for certain State provided vaccines are requested to pay an administration fee of $15 per dose. However, individuals who qualify for this vaccine will not be refused service due to inability to pay.

For other vaccine and titer services, a $20 office visit fee applies, in addition to the cost of the vaccine or titer.

Adult vaccination fees vary depending on the type of vaccine. Antibody tests available include hepatitis B, measles, mumps, rubella and varicella.

Flu shots are available for $30.

TB Testing: Due to the nature of the test, clients must plan for both the TB shot and the TB read. The TB read must happen 48 to 72 hours after the shot. The best option is to come for the TB shot on Tuesday and the TB read on Thursday.

Payments can be made by cash, check or credit card. Families who have health insurance that covers immunizations are asked to receive their vaccinations from their private provider.
