Where to Get Childhood Immunizations
If your child has a primary care provider, schedule an appointment with them for immunizations. If they don’t have health insurance or a primary care provider, schedule an appointment at a Clackamas County Health Center or Neighborhood Health Centers.

Vaccines for Respiratory Illnesses
Vaccines can help protect you and your child from illnesses like COVID-19 and the flu. They provide a safe and reliable way to build your body’s protection against these respiratory diseases.
Why should my child get the flu and COVID-19 vaccines?
- I want to protect my child and our family
- I want to protect the people around us, like neighbors and classmates
- I want to lower my child’s risk of complications like pneumonia or Long Covid
- When a disease starts going around, I want to leave doctor’s appointments and medications available for people who are most sick
- It would be hard for me to take time off work if my child got sick
It is important to get updated vaccines when they are released because the viruses that cause flu and COVID-19 both change quickly. Updated vaccines are designed to offer better protection against the versions of the virus that are in current circulation. They help boost our bodies’ immunity against flu and COVID-19, which can wane over time.
About COVID-19 Vaccines
About Influenza (Flu) Vaccines
- The flu shot is the best way to prevent the flu. The CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against flu viruses.
- The flu vaccine is safe, and is recommended for everyone 6 months of age and older.
- Flu vaccine does not cause the flu because the virus used is dead or weakened so it cannot make you ill. Fewer than 1% of people develop flu-like symptoms, such as mild fever and muscle aches, after vaccination. These side effects are not the same as having the actual disease.
- The more people vaccinated prior to the arrival of the flu, the lower the risk to our community, especially those most vulnerable to illness.
