Immunizations

Immunization Program

The Health Department provides recommended immunizations to children and adolescents less than 19 years of age who:

  • Do not have a provider either because the person is new to this area or are changing providers
  • Have a provider, but they do not stock State-supplied Vaccine or the specific State-supplied vaccine being requested
  • Do not have health insurance (Medicare and Provider One are considered health insurance)
  • Have health insurance but:
    • Deductible is very high
    • Insurance does not cover vaccines

If your child or adolescent meets the above criteria, please call the Immunization Program (360-676-4593) to schedule an appointment.

In addition, the Health Department Immunization Program;

  • Answers vaccine related questions from the public and private medical offices.
  • Oversees the state Vaccines for Children program in Whatcom County.
  • Distributes childhood vaccines to private medical offices and clinics.
  • Provides nurse consultation office visits and education.
