CHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATIONS
Don’t Wait, Vaccinate!
The State of Virginia requires that children must be up-to-date on physicals and immunizations for school and for learning virtually. The Richmond and Henrico Health Districts and their partners have developed materials to assist parents in making informed choices about vaccination. You can protect your child from preventable diseases by making sure they get their immunizations on time. Please bring your child’s immunization record with you for the appointment.
Please note that while the Richmond and Henrico Health Districts do not charge for immunizations, some of our partners may. Additionally, most pediatricians will perform an exam which could add an additional cost.

Fight Flu
Get your flu shot this year to stay healthy—getting the flu wears your immune system down, which is not a good thing in times of COVID-19! Flu vaccines will be more available than ever this year. Protect the vulnerable and get your shot!
If you have insurance, you can get your flu vaccination shot at your primary care doctor’s office, pharmacy, or urgent care clinic.
Why Get a Flu Shot?
Here are six great reasons to get your flu shot. The flu shot:
• can keep you from getting sick with the flu
• can reduce the risk of flu-associated hospitalization for children, working-age adults, and older adults
• is an important preventive tool for people with chronic health conditions
• helps protect pregnant women
• can be life-saving in children
• can help reduce the burden on the health care system during the coronavirus pandemic
