Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, parents and guardians need to sign a consent form for any shots if the child is under the age of 18 years at every appointment. This can be done with the form below or in office.
A parent or guardian must complete a Third-Party Consent form if someone else brings their child to the appointment. The form can be brought the day of the appointment with the third party.
Children and adults without medical insurance or if their insurance does not cover shots can receive a discount on immunization services. The recommended fee per shot is $21.25 and a one-time nursing fee of $14.40, however, we will not turn away anyone due to inability to pay.
We recommend contacting your child’s doctor, but children can usually receive their shots even if they have a mild illness, such as a cold, earache, mild fever, or diarrhea.
