Back to School Immunization Day
August 16 in Pagosa Springs
San Juan Basin Health Department is providing an opportunity for parents to get their children up to date on immunizations before school begins. This Back-to-School Immunizations Day will take place on Monday, August 16th at the Pagosa Springs office, 502 S. 8th Street. Parents need to make an appointment by calling 264-2409, ext. 213.
Immunizations are an important part of our children’s health care and Colorado law requires that children going to school be vaccinated to prevent vaccine preventable disease. Parents should have received a letter in the spring from the State of Colorado explaining which vaccines student are required to have in order to attend a Colorado school in the 2010-11 school year. You can read this letter at our website: www.sjbhd.org/immunizations. Or call 264-2409, ext. 213 if you have questions or need more information regarding these requirements.
Please bring your child’s immunization record to your appointment. We accept Medicaid, CHP+, and Rocky Mountain HMO insurance. Please remember to bring your child’s insurance card as they are required at time of service. San Juan Basin Health charges a minimal fee of $14.70 per immunization. However, if a family is cannot afford to pay, we will still provide the necessary immunizations.
