District Health Department #2

Immunizations

DHD#2 works with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in reducing vaccine-preventable diseases by providing free or affordable immunizations to all people from birth through adulthood. Appointments are highly recommended since clinics days and sites vary from month-to-month, although clients may receive immunizations on a walk-in basis depending on the availability of our staff.

For an appointment, please call:

West Branch: (989) 343-1826

Tawas (989) 362-6183 ext. 1501

Harrisville (989) 724-6757 ext. 1600

Mio (989) 826-3970 ext. 1700

The Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MCIR) is used by DHD2 to keep track of administered immunizations. This helps to reduce vaccine-preventable diseases, over-vaccination and allows providers to see a patient's immunization history. Although it isn't recommended, a form is available to those who'd like to opt-out of MCIR.

 

Hot Shot: Immunization Update

A grant received through the Immunization Portion of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act allows DHD2 to reach more children and adults with the vaccinations they need. Currently DHD2 is offering the following free immunizations to uninsured adults age 19 through 64:

Shingles (For Adults Age 60-64)

Chickenpox

Pneumonia

HPV

While the funding allows DHD2 to provide these vaccinations for free, clients will be asked to pay a $10 administration fee. Please call for availability.
