Immunizations

Immunizations are a simple and effective method to prevent certain diseases which may cause serious health problems. We provide:

Regular childhood immunizations through the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program.
Adult immunizations for uninsured adults through the Adult Vaccine Program (AVP).
Vaccine education, information, consultation, and support for schools, preschools, and childcare.

Clinics

We offer regular vaccination clinics on Lopez, Orcas, and San Juan Islands for ALL children through the age of 18 years and UNINSURED adults. You can make an appointment online or by calling our office at 360-378-4474. All clinics are ferry-service dependent.

Please note, an office fee of $10 (per patient, per visit) and an administration fee of $10 (per vaccine) will be charged for all non-COVID vaccines. The total amount due at the time of service will be calculated based on the sliding fee scale (español). No one will be denied services because of inability to pay.
