Change in our Immunization ("shots") policy

Sorry to say it, but due to the increasing cost of buying immunizations, the poor reimbursement from insurance companies and their short shelf-life we can no longer afford to give many rountine immunizations. In many cases, we are actually losing $50-100 apiece on shots.

Happily, the Public Health department administers all routine shots at low cost on an appointment basis.

We are more than happy to continue to see you or your family for:

• Well Child check-ups
• Female and Male annual physicals
• DMV exams
• employment physicals
• injuries
• consultations about travel

We still give shots for:

• Adult tetanus
• Adult Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B
• Pneumonia vaccine
  

Sixth Grade Immunizations ("Shots")

The county department of public health is doing their IZ Xtreme program again at middle schools this October. This is available to all 6th graders, and also any 7th and 8th graders who have not received this immunizations.

The immunizations are the standard ones for this age group, and prevent tetanus, pertussis, meningitis, influenza and genital warts virus.

If you believe in preventing fatal or crippling infections in our children and our community, this is a fantastic program that provides over $56o in immunizations to each child free of charge at their school.

IMHO, one of the best uses of taxpayer money I've ever seen!
