Routine childhood immunizations protect against serious diseases like measles, polio and whooping cough—helping Kentucky’s children grow up strong and healthy.

Vaccines are safe, effective and recommended starting at birth.

They help prevent outbreaks and protect those who can’t get vaccinated.

Staying up to date means fewer sick days and healthier families.

Check with your child’s doctor to make sure they’re on track with their vaccines.

Appointments for immunizations are also available at our clinic. Reach out to (606) 298-7752 to learn more or to schedule an appointment.
