Child Vaccinations

Making sure that children of all ages receive their vaccinations on time is one of the most important things parents can do to ensure their children’s long-term health - as well as the health of friends, classmates, and others in the community. Although some vaccine-preventable diseases have become rare thanks to vaccines, outbreaks still happen. 

Make sure your child is up-to-date on his/her immunizations.

*Please call the Health Department at 785-628-9440 to schedule an appointment or walk-in on Mondays during normal business hours. If your child is behind on their immunizations, we require an appointment and the most updated immunization record, prior to appointment. 

Children under 18 years of age are required to have a parent or legal guardian present for any and all services.
