The Kalamazoo County Health and Community Services Department participates in the Federal "Vaccines for Children" program that provides vaccines to children who have Medicaid, no insurance, no insurance coverage for vaccines, or are Native Alaskan or Native American Indian. You could also qualify if you have met your wellness cap for the year and you have no further immunization coverage. Please call your insurance provider to find out if you have any immunization coverage. If you have any portion of the vaccines covered, you need to receive immunizations at your physician's office.

For Private Insurance Billing: We have a private supply of all vaccines available for those who have private insurance that we bill. If we cannot bill your insurance you will need to pay market price for the private vaccine. Prices for these vaccines vary. Please call 269-373-5242 or 269-373-5238 for more information.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) vaccine schedules for all ages are available on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.

Immunization waivers are by appointment only. To schedule an appointment with a nurse, call 269-373-5198.
