General Health’s Child Protect Program will offer free vaccine clinics on
select dates and locations throughout the fall. The
clinics will offer vaccines for children who do not have health insurance or
who have Medicaid (Medical Assistance) and are 0 – 18 years old.
Immunizations protect infants,
children and adolescents from preventable diseases. LG Health offers
immunizations against childhood diseases to children in Lancaster County at no
cost through the program Vaccines For Children. Vaccines
against chicken pox, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, Hib, Hepatitis A + B, HPV,
influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, meningitis, pneumococcal disease, polio,
and rotavirus will be available. Tetanus and MMR vaccines for uninsured
adults will also be available. Physicals and pediatric well visits will not be
offered at the clinics.
The health and well-being of our patients and community
remains LG Health’s top priority, and vaccines are an important part of
supporting good health. The clinics are a convenient option for patients to
stay on a regular vaccine schedule. Minors ages 0 – 17 must be accompanied by a
parent or guardian. You must bring the child’s up-to-date vaccine record to
