Child and School Immunizations

Child Immunizations

The Vaccines for Children program offers immunizations at no cost for children up to age 18. A child qualifies for free immunizations if one of the following criteria is met:

• Child is enrolled in Medicaid, Medipass, or Medicaid HMOs
• Child has no health insurance
• Child’s health insurance does not cover immunizations
• Child is American Indian or Alaskan Native

School Immunizations

Florida schools and childcare centers require that their students have certain immunizations. DOH-Marion County provides each of these required immunizations. If coming from another state and your child is enrolling in Florida schools, be sure to ask about required immunizations. Immunization requirements can vary from state to state.

Please note: To enter kindergarten, students must have completed or be in the process of completing their immunizations. Students entering 7th grade must have a Tdap booster. College immunization requirements can vary; contact the college you will be attending for more information.
