Immunizations keep our community healthy
- Immunizations protect you, your family
and our community. - Mesa County Health Department Public
Health Clinic offers adult,
child and travel immunizations. - Last year, MCHD staff administered
nearly 1,000 flu immunizations to citizens at local businesses and administered
back-to-school immunizations to nearly 200 Mesa County children over a two day
open clinic period. - Students entering kindergarten must be
up-to-date on all required immunizations for attending school. - This includes the immunization for
Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis (DTaP or Tdap). - For sixth graders, this is an
additional requirement, even if the child was current on all immunizations in
elementary school. - MCHD will hold two back-to-school
immunization clinics July 13 and 14 from 8 – 4 p.m. - Appointments for these clinics will be
walk-in only. - Bring a copy of your child’s
immunization record for faster service. - Adult and child immunization schedules
are available at health.mesacounty.us. - Travelers
should also be aware of immunization services at MCHD. - We offer educational materials and
counseling for safer international travel. - We can administer 14 different
immunizations to keep you healthy during your trip. - We serve all patients, regardless of
ability to pay. - We accept all major health insurance
plans including Medicaid, Medicare and the Children’s Health Insurance Plan. - We also have programs for those without insurance.
