Adults and children can receive regularly scheduled
immunizations at Collin County Health Care
Services as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
A complete shot record is required to obtain immunizations at our clinic for children up to 18 years of age; a school note alone is not sufficient. Individuals 18 years and older do not need to be accompanied by another adult in order to receive vaccinations.
The Texas Vaccines For Children Program (TVFC) provides vaccines to health departments to administer to eligible children and is offered by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services. It is designed to improve the quality and longevity of life by achieving and maintaining a vaccine preventable disease-free environment. While it is impossible to put an exact dollar figure on the savings through the use of these vaccines, consider what it would cost without this preventive care program offered by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services. Collin County Health Care Services offers outreach immunization services throughout the county.
Texas Vaccines for Children Program is available for all providers in Texas who would like to participate. If you are not a Texas Vaccines for Children Program Provider or would like more information regarding the program; please contact the Healthcare Coordinator.
Collin County Health Care Services is dedicated to promoting the Texas immunization registry ImmTrac which is provided as a free service by the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS). ImmTrac is a confidential registry designed to consolidate a child's immunization record from multiple providers and store a child's immunization information electronically in one secure central system. ImmTrac offers physicians and other healthcare providers and authorized users' easy online access to a child's immunization history. The registry is part of a state wide initiative to increase vaccination coverage levels for children across Texas. With written parental consent, the ImmTrac registry receives vaccination information for a child from private and public healthcare providers across the state including input from the Vital Statistics Unit of TDSHS, Women, Infant and Children (WIC) clinics, Medicaid, the Texas-Wide Integrated Client Encounter System (TWICES), health care plans, and school nurses. Parents may request their child's ImmTrac record from participating physicians or their local health department.
If your child has insurance other then Medicaid and CHIPS, we are unable to provide immunization services unless the insurance does not cover vaccinations.
Prices for children's vaccines are not listed because
they are based on a sliding scale up to $14 per shot
per child. Payment by cash, check, Visa or MasterCard will be accepted. All other vaccine prices are subject to change and may be higher or lower
depending on the availability of vaccines.
To obtain vaccination schedules for children and/or adults,
visit the Texas
Department of State Health website or consult with your primary care doctor.
