How much will my child’s immunizations cost me?The Gila County Office of Health Services encourages you to have your baby immunized at the appropriate times and the appropriate ages.  We participate in the federal program, “Vaccines for Children”; therefore immunizations given at the Office of Health are FREE to all children 18 years of age and younger.  Your baby will need to begin their immunizations at 2 months of age and we would be delighted to help you get those started.

What immunizations will my child be given?
The recommended immunizations are:

• DTaP – Diphtheria, Tetanus and acellular Pertussis (6wks to 6years old)

How will I know what immunizations my child receives?
You will be given written information regarding each immunization your child receives or is to receive.  For more information on vaccines and to view vaccine information statements visit the CDC Website at www.cdc.gov/nip.  In addition, the nurse will record the immunizations in an immunization booklet that is yours to keep.  You should bring this booklet with you for each visit.  This record is very important, without it your child will not be able to register or attend school – PLEASE TAKE CARE OF IT.
