What We Do

Nevada County Public Health offers childhood and adult immunizations, including seasonal flu shots, at our main office in Grass Valley during our regular Immunization Clinic Hours (PDF)​ and during our special vaccine clinics out in the community (see below for more detail).

Eligibility

The vaccines offered to children are part of the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program. A child must be 18 years or younger, who has:

• No health insurance, OR 
• is eligible for Medi-Cal, OR 
• has insurance that does not cover vaccines, OR 
• is Native American or Alaskan Native

A limited supply of childhood vaccines are available to purchase for children that are not eligible for the VFC program.
Most adult vaccines are covered by Medi-Cal, Medi-Cal Managed Care  or Blue Shield PPO/EPO.  We also have adult vaccines available for purchase.

Questions About Vaccines & Immunizations

The laws in California recently changed for school-age kids and vaccines. For more information about SB277 and the current immunization laws, check out Shots for School.

If you are a parent with questions about immunizations for your child, we encourage you to read this Vaccine Safety Handout (PDF).

Travel Vaccines:  We offer Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B vaccinations. For other travel vaccines contact your primary care physician, pharmacy, or travel clinic.
