Dawson County clinic outlines routine vaccination services

A Dawson County Health Department representative said vaccines are a core service and cited seasonal flu and tetanus as examples people commonly seek at the clinic. "Most people do know that health department does vaccines," the presenter said, noting that older adults often come for fall flu shots.

The presenter also highlighted back-to-school immunizations for children, listing kindergarten, seventh-grade and 11th-grade vaccine requirements and the related hearing, vision and dental certificates that the department can provide.
