Vaccines for Children
Where can you go to get your child’s immunizations?
This is a common question we hear in the community. Based on your child’s healthcare insurance, make the best choice for him or her.
- Your healthcare provider. Many even offer free vaccines for eligible children!
- Community Health Center (accepts insurance and sliding scale)
- Walk-In Immunization Clinic (see below for links to statewide resources)
- Local Pharmacy (based on a doctor’s referral for certain vaccines)
- Pediatrix has offices in the Phoenix area and takes all Medicaid plans and has evening/weekend hours (ask about getting vaccines for uninsured kids).
If your child is without insurance or the insurance does not cover vaccines, there are free clinics statewide where your child can receive immunizations. Also, find about insurance options and sliding fee scale clinics.
