CLINICS

the county. Immunizations are provided free of charge. Previous immunization
records must be presented.

CHILDHOOD
IMMUNIZATION PROGRAM
This unique initiative is funded by the Middlesex County Children's
Health Commission. Through active outreach, children age 2 month through
18 years are identified for assessment of immunization status and have
no insurance coverage for preventive health care. Those
found deficient are offered immunizations at no charge. Case management
services ensure linkages to medical care in the community and reminds
clients when immunizations are due. School age children through age 18 will be immunized according to school requirements (NJS Ch. 14).
For more information, call (732) 745-3128
