Immunizations are provided at the Newport Public Health Clinic, the Lincoln Community Health Center--Newport and Lincoln City and at various outreach clinics at schools.

Lincoln County Public Health offers immunizations (vaccines or "shots") for infants, children, and adults in clinics in our three offices and School Based Health Centers. Vaccines protect your child against many childhood diseases such as diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, measles and many others.

Vaccine schedules are based on nationally recommended standards. Oregon school law.  requires that children who attend public and private schools, pre-schools, childcare facilities and Head Start programs in Oregon be vaccinated. Nearly every place that provides care for a child outside the home requires shots or a religious or medical exemption to stay enrolled.

New changes to that law require that children 1-1/2 years of age through 12th grade students be immunized against Hepatitis A and that 7th – 12th graders receive a dose of TDaP.

Costs for immunizations are based on costs of the vaccines and/or an administrative cost. Most insurances including the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) are accepted.  Please check with your insurance company before making any appointments.  However, no one will be denied state supplied vaccines due to inability to pay.

Appointments are necessary, unless a drop-in clinic has been scheduled.
