Childhood Immunizations

DOH-Leon offers childhood immunizations that are required for school and child care. Please note that all vaccinations are offered on an appointment-only basis.

Required immunizations are provided free of charge to all eligible children 0-18 years of age (funded by the federal Vaccines for Children Program.) A child qualifies for free vaccinations if one of the following criteria is met:

  • Child is enrolled in Medicaid, Medipass, or Medicaid HMOs.
  • Child has no health insurance.
  • Child’s health insurance does not cover immunizations.
  • Child is American Indian or Alaskan Native.

The primary goal of our immunization program is to prevent the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases in Leon County. Early immunizations (also called vaccines) are especially important because young children lack fully developed immune systems and are the most vulnerable to disease. Immunizations are a safe, effective way to protect your child from getting measles, mumps, and many other serious diseases. 

Parents and guardians: Please bring your child's most recent immunization record and your government issued ID with a recognizable photo, date of birth, and signature.

Florida SHOTS

Florida SHOTS (State Health Online Tracking System) is a free, statewide, centralized online immunization registry that helps parents, health care providers, and schools keep track of immunization records. Ask your health care provider for a personal identification number so you can view your child’s immunization history and print a copy of your child’s Florida Certification of Immunization (DH Form 680).

For more information visit the Florida SHOTS website. You can also call the Florida SHOTS Help Desk at 1-877-888-7468.
