• Adults: Recommended Vaccinations for Adults | Vaccines & Immunizations | CDC
• Children at birth-6 years: Your child needs vaccines as they grow! | Vaccines & Immunizations | CDC
• Children 7-18: Older children and teens need vaccines too! | Vaccines & Immunizations | CDC
• While Pregnant or Breastfeeding: Guidelines for Vaccinating Pregnant Persons | Pregnancy & Vaccines | CDC

A legally authorized representative (usually a parent or guardian) must give permission (also called consent) for vaccination for someone under the age of 18, such as by completing a written consent form that the minor (the person under the age of 18) can bring to their vaccination appointment. We require all individuals under 18, unaccompanied by a parent or guardian, to download a copy of the consent form, have it signed, and show proof upon vaccination appointment.

The parent or guardian does not need to go with the minor to their vaccination appointment to give consent.

Our vaccination clinics accept most major prescription insurance plans. With insurance, many preventative shots are covered, although you are still responsible for any copay or deductible associated with your insurance plan. We process vaccinations utilizing the patient’s prescription coverage for almost insurance plans including Medicare Part D, and for specific vaccines Medicare Part B.
