Community Health participates in this federally funded program. We receive all of our vaccine from the State of Iowa as designated by the VFC program. Because of this participation, we are only able to vaccinate those children that meet the eligibility guidelines. Other children need to get their vaccinations at their doctor’s office.

Flu shots

Flu shots are a part of the VFC program. Children who qualify for VFC are encouraged to get their flu shots immediately by attending a public clinic or by calling Community Health to arrange for an appointment.

Special purchased flu shots are available for all other children at public clinics or by calling Community Health to arrange an appointment. There is a cost of $25.00 for this vaccine.
