Immunizations

The Charlotte County Health Department offers immunizations at its 3 clinic locations, and at various schools.

Childhood Immunizations

We provide required childhood immunizations at no cost to you. Visit our School Health page for more information on immunizations and see what is required for your child to attend school.

*If this your first time visit for immunizations, bring child's social security card and past shot records.*

Child must be brought in by custodial parent or have a written notarized (.pdf / 400.45kb) letter from the parent with a phone number for contact for that day along with complete immunization shot history.

Get your school shots early! See locations and dates for immunization events.
