In addition to school supplies and clothes, back-to-school season also means its time for vaccines for some kids.
If you don’t have a well child visit scheduled with a pediatrician or family doctor, there are regularly scheduled vaccine clinics at Franklin County Public Health.
Clinics are available by appointment only, typically held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 280 East Broad Street, Columbus, 43215. To schedule an appointment, please call (614) 525-3719 or click on the schedule option on the immunization web page.
Many insurance providers are accepted for immunizations. No uninsured or under-insured child is turned away if the cost is not affordable.
Vaccines For Children (VFC) program is a federally funded program that provides vaccines at no cost to children who might not otherwise be vaccinated because of inability to pay.
Items to bring for Vaccine Clinics
- Immunization (shot) record
- Cash or checkbook (FCPH does not take credit/debit cards)
- Insurance card
- Consent form, if the adult bringing in a child is not legal guardian/parent
- Photo ID for adult accompanying child
