Books,
backpacks, clothes, pencils and IMMUNIZATIONS!
We all need shots
(also called vaccinations or immunizations) to help protect us from serious
diseases. To help keep our community safe, Jefferson
County Public Health is proudly participating in National
Immunization Awareness Month.
Shots can prevent serious diseases
like the flu, measles, and pneumonia. It’s important to know which shots you
need and when to get them.
Everyone age 6 months and older needs
to get a flu vaccine every year. Other shots work best when they are given at
certain ages.
- If you have a child age 6 or younger, find out which shots your child needs.
- Find out which shots adults and teenagers need.
- Use this chart for adults to see if you are up to date on your shots [PDF – 156 KB].
- If you are pregnant, check out this recommended immunization schedule [PDF – 188 KB].
Talk to your doctor or nurse to make
sure that everyone in your family gets the shots they need. Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH) provides
vaccinations by appointment only at our Lakewood
clinic, 645 Parfet Street, Lakewood, CO 80215. There is an administrative fee
of $21.68 per vaccine. Vaccine fees for
adults and children vary depending on the vaccine requested and insurance
coverage. Service will not be denied due to inability to pay for any childhood vaccine,
and fees may be waived. We can bill for Medicaid, CHP+, and a number of
private insurances, please check when registering. Call 303-239-7078 for an appointment or visit
the JCPH
immunization website for more information.
