Immunization Services
Childhood immunizations are obtained in the Tribal Clinics routinely as a part of the Well-Child exam and follow-up through the Nurse-only clinic. The majority of childhood vaccines are obtained through the local Health Department Vaccine for Children (VFC) program. We encourage parents to select a primary care provider (Physician, Nurse Practitioner, or Physician Assistant) and schedule well-child exams on a regular basis based on their children’s age as recommended by the CDC, American Academy of Pediatrics and Family Practice.
Adult vaccines are generally purchased through the Tribal Health pharmacy and made available to Tribal patients through a medical or nurse-only clinic visit. The recommended vaccines for adults vary by age and risk factors, and we encourage patients to talk to their provider or nurse. Adult immunizations provided include:
Community Health offers scheduled flu/COVID vaccine clinics every fall at various locations. We encourage you to ask about your immunization needs during your Health Clinic or Community Health Visit.
