If you have health insurance, the Health Department will bill your insurance. You will not be charged a copay. If you are over 19 years of age and you do not have health insurance or do not want your insurance billed, the Health Department will ask for a sliding scale fee based on family size and annual income.

Clinic staff will not ask for proof of family size and income, and services will be provided regardless of ability to pay.

Shingles

There are two shingles vaccines on the market in the United States. Shingrix® is the preferred shingles vaccine and recommended for people 50 years and older. People who cannot receive Shingrix® may use Zostavax®, which is recommended for people 60 and older.
