The Niagara County Department of Health (NCDOH) Immunization Program offers all required and recommended vaccines to individuals attending our clinics.  We follow the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the New York State Department of Health's (NYSDOH) recommendations and policies.  Our goal is to increase immunization rates in Niagara County and to prevent the occurrence and transmission of vaccine preventable diseases by ensuring the delivery and availability of vaccines to all children and adults. 

Immunization1

NCDOH participates in the Vaccine for Children (VFC) Program.  Vaccines are provided free of charge to children under 19 years of age if they qualify for the VFC vaccine.  NCDOH also participates in the Vaccine for Adult (VFA) Program.  NYSDOH provides the NCDOH immunization program with free vaccines for adults 19 and older.  This is used for people that attend our clinics who are uninsured and underinsured.

For children under 18 years of age, a parent or other responsible adult must be with the child during the clinic visit.  It is also important to bring the child's immunization record with you.  If a parent is unable to bring the child to clinic, a responsible adult over the age of 18 can bring the child.  The parent must provide the responsible adult with the child's immunization record and a signed permission slip stating who is bringing their child to clinic and that he/she has permission for their child to receive the necessary vaccines. 

If you require a tuberculin skin test for college entrance or for your job, you will need two appointments; one to have the test applied and one to read the results two to three days later.

Recommended Immunization Schedules for
Children and Adults can be found on the CDC website

Vaccines for International Travel

Niagara County Department of Health is also an authorized and certified provider for yellow fever vaccine.  Based on your destination, the following vaccines are available at our clinics and are recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for international travel:
