We know why we should get ourselves and family members vaccinated but even with it's importance, things sometimes get in our way. This may be cost, accessibility, we may not know we need certain vaccines, or we just plain forget! Here are some resources that will help you to kick those barriers out of the way!

Cost

Adult and Well-Child immunizations, including the flu shot, may be covered 100% by your insurance – call your insurance provider for more information.

Vaccine for Children program is for children who do not have insurance. Required childhood immunizations are available through this program at Local Health Departments for $15 per shot.

Accessibility

Vaccination Schedule

Children and adults need vaccinations to prevent disease. But which vaccinations do you need? Take this Vaccination Quiz to determine which vaccines are recommended for you. Make sure to review immunization records to determine which vaccinations you or family members are lacking. Immunization records are available through Local Health Departments for a $2 fee. You can also visit Utah Statewide Immunization Information System's website and request Immunization Records for FREE. 

Don't Forget!

Immunize Utah provides an email immunization reminder to parents regarding which immunizations are recommended for children 2 months through 18 months of age. The information provided is based on the Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

There are also several SmartPhone applications available for download for FREE or for purchase that will alert you when a vaccination is due and will also keep track of what vaccinations have been received.
