The
Yakima Health District's Child Immunization
Program works with providers to teach
proper vaccine storage and administrations,
along with providing consultation to providers'
offices throughout the county. The Yakima
Health District does not provide immunization
directly to patients, but does distribute
some vaccines to providers in our community.
If
your child was vaccinated at the Health
District before our clinic closed and
you are seeking their immunization records,
please download the Request
for Medical Records Search form and
mail it in with the appropriate fee or
drop it off at the Health District.
The
three main education area that the immunization
program focuses on are vaccine storage,
adminstration, and keeping children's
vaccinations up-to-date.
