Routine Immunizations
The Lake County General Health District conducts Immunization clinics. LCGHD strives to ensure all residents have access to all required and recommended immunizations for children, adolescents, and adults. All clinics are by appointment only. The Health District accepts individuals with or without insurance. All payments are due at the time of your appointment. We will not turn anyone away due to financial difficulties.
