Immunization Program

What We Do
Nevada County Public Health offers childhood and adult immunizations, including seasonal flu shots, at our main office in Grass Valley during our regular Immunization Clinic Hours (PDF) and during our special vaccine clinics out in the community (see below for more detail).
Eligibility
The vaccines offered to children are part of the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program. A child must be 18 years or younger, who has:
- No health insurance, OR
- is eligible for Medi-Cal, OR
- has insurance that does not cover vaccines, OR
- is Native American or Alaskan Native
Most adult vaccines are covered by Medi-Cal, Medi-Cal Managed Care or Blue Shield PPO/EPO. We also have adult vaccines available for purchase.
Questions About Vaccines & Immunizations
The laws in California recently changed for school-age kids and vaccines. For more information about SB277 and the current immunization laws, check out Shots for School.
If you are a parent with questions about immunizations for your child, we encourage you to read this Vaccine Safety Handout (PDF).
Travel Vaccines: We offer Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B vaccinations. For other travel vaccines contact your primary care physician, pharmacy, or travel clinic.
