The primary function of the Immunization Unit is to administer immunizations to children and adults, the goal being to eliminate vaccine preventable, communicable disease in our community and nation.  Additionally, the unit is responsible for monitoring the vaccine administering practices and up to date rates for all private and non-private vaccine providers county-wide.            

Immunizations can prevent disability and death from infectious diseases for individuals and can help control the spread of infections within communities.  The Immunization Clinic provides vaccines for children, adults, refugees, immigrants (as long as a civil surgeon has referred them) and International Travel. Registered nurses administer all vaccines.
