Our Immunization Public Health Nurse works closely with local families and medical practices to increase immunization rates in our area for infants, children, adolescents and adults. We help providers communicate with families about vaccines for children and work to ensure pregnant women have had a Tdap vaccine, which protects against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough). We also support vaccination for anyone who spends a lot of time with a newborn, including extended families and child care providers.
Immunization Clinics
The St. Albans District Office offers a monthly immunization clinic at no charge for people who are under 65 years old and unisured or a patient of a medical practice that cannot receive vaccine from the Vermont Vaccines for Children & Adults program.

Working with Health Care Providers
Immunization & Health Care Professionals
We help local medical practices increase their immunization rates by using a quality improvment program known as AFIX. We discuss the practice's rates, facilitate review of evidence-based strategies, and support development of plans to increase vaccination coverage in our communities.
In April 2018, this pediatric practice was recognized by the Vermont Immunization Program for meeting the Healthy People 2020 goal of high childhood immunization coverage:
