Childhood Immunizations

The Health Department offers FREE immunizations for children (birth through 18 years) by appointment, Monday thru Thursday, 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM.  Office hours are Monday thru Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.  Call (812) 738-3237 to make an appointment.

 

Any shot received at the health department is recorded in the Children & Hoosiers Immunization Registry Program (CHIRP).  Doctor's offices have access to CHIRP, and so do all Indiana county health departments.  Any immunization received at any Indiana county health department is on the CHIRP database, which is accessible to qualified personnel from the internet at any time.      

 

NOTE:  To bring a child for immunizations, you must be their parent or legal guardian.  If you are not (if you are a step-parent, grandparent, babysitter, or other relative), you MUST bring a note signed by the parent or guardian stating that it is okay for you to bring the child for their immunizations.

 

(ages 0-6 yrs., 7-18 yrs., and catch-up doses)

	Whooping cough (pertussis) is on the rise in Indiana!  Pertussis is a bacterial illness transmitted by nose or throat droplets.  Infants can experience serious illness with poor feeding, weight loss, slowed or stopped breathing, pneumonia, seizures or death.   ENSURE YOUR VACCINES ARE UP TO DATE! Practice good cough etiquette and good hand washing practices. Anyone caring for young children should make sure they are fully immunized against pertussis to prevent spreading this potentially life-threatening illness. CALL 812-738-3237, Option 1, to make an appointment for your pertussis vaccine!   Visit the CDC for more information
	Get rid of used syringes and "sharps" Many people throughout the county use injectable medication for various medical conditions, including diabetes, allergies, hepatitis, infertility, osteoporosis and cancer, among others.  Public drop boxes for sharps are located in the lobby of the Harrison County Sheriff's office, 1445 Gardner Lane NW, Corydon and at the Milltown Police Department, 212-B Hancock Street, Milltown.
