The childhood immunizations offered include DTaP, Hep A, Hep B, HPV, Meningitis, Polio, Tdap, and Varicella. Foreign travel, Influenza, and COVID immunizations are not included in these clinics.
EIPH will be billing most private insurances and Medicaid. For those who are uninsured, there is a low-cost option to help ensure that children receive the vaccines they need.
“Vaccines are like a seatbelt. You never know if you will be in an accident, but it is good to be safe,” said Esmy Quintero, RN, Nurse Manager at Eastern Idaho Public Health.
EIPH plans to schedule more back-to-school immunization clinics as other school registration nights become available. For those who are unable to make these scheduled clinic times and are interested in receiving back-to-school immunizations, call your local EIPH office to make an appointment at regular clinic hours.
