Childhood Immunizations
Johnson County Public Health offers a childhood
immunization program for any qualifying child up to the 19th birthday.
To enroll your children in a
Wyoming school, you are required to keep them up to date on their
immunizations. Our office provides all the mandatory vaccinations, as well
as the optional - but strongly recommended - immunizations against serious
illnesses like chickenpox,
pneumococcal infection,
hepatitis A and
rotavirus
for small children; and bacterial meningitis for
kids and young adults up to the 19th birthday.
We also supply the vaccine that protects against cervical cancer
caused by certain types of human
papillomavirus (HPV). Also known as Gardasil, the HPV vaccine is
now available for girls 9 to 18
years of age.
If you are like many parents who have questions or concerns about
childhood vaccines, visit
www.vaccine.chop.edu for the answers you need to make informed and responsible decisions
and help your child grow up healthy and strong.
Adult Vaccines
Vaccination isn't just for kids. Some illnesses pose a serious
threat to the adults of Johnson County as well, such as
influenza and
pneumonia. Call our office at
684-2564 for information on the
seasonal "flu shot," and, if you are 65 or older, the
PPV vaccine.
