In the US, immunizations have reduced or eliminated many infectious diseases that once routinely killed or harmed many infants, children, and adults. However, the viruses and bacteria that cause immunization-preventable disease and death still exist and can be passed on to people who are not protected by immunizations.

Placer County residents can get assistance scheduling flu and COVID-19 vaccine appointments by calling 211 or 833-342-5211, unless they are insured by Kaiser Permanente, in which case they need to schedule directly with Kaiser at kp.org.

Immunizations for School
California Law (Health and Safety Code 120325-120375) requires that children entering public or private schools, including childcare, preschool, elementary, or secondary schools, receive required immunizations. Placer County holds safety-net immunization clinics for eligible children ages 4-18 who are in need of immunizations. Eligible children meet criteria for the Vaccines for Children Program (VFC), which includes children who are uninsured and Medi-Cal insured. The safety net program is available to fill the gaps for families working toward establishing with a primary medical home for their children. Families who are in need of immunizations to attend school may call 530-886-1883 for eligibility screening and appointment scheduling. 

COVID-19 Vaccines - With the changes to the funding stream for COVID vaccine this fall, Placer County is only able to offer COVID vaccine for adults 19+ without health insurance (or with health insurance that does not cover vaccines) and VFC-eligible children ages 6 months-18 years. Vaccine clinics are available on MyTurn or families may call 530-886-1883 for assistance with resources. People with health insurance should be able to get their vaccines at a local pharmacy or their primary doctor's office.

Flu
Influenza (flu) can lead to serious illness, including pneumonia. Flu clinic options for the general public are available on MyTurn
