Back to School Vaccines Are Available Now at JCHD

It’s ‘Back-to-School’ time and there’s a lot to coordinate! Let JCHD help take something off your list: Back to School Vaccines. Routine childhood vaccinations are an important way to help ensure that your child is protected against serious diseases, like measles and whooping cough.

We offer vaccinations at our office locations Monday-Thursday 8am-5:30pm. Appointments are highly encouraged, and a parent or guardian must be present for patients under the age of 18. To schedule an appointment, call 636-797-3737.

JCHD is a proud Vaccines for Children (VFC) program provider which provides vaccines at no cost to all eligible children. Children ages 18 and younger who meet one of the following criteria are eligible:

  • American Indian or Alaska Native

  • Medicaid-eligible

  • Uninsured

  • Underinsured

Missouri statutes require that students in certain grade levels receive specific immunizations before attending public schools. You can find that list of required vaccines for the 2022-2023 school year here.  CDC also provides a list of recommended vaccinations by age which can be found here (birth-6 years old) and here (7-18 years old).
