Many children, teens, and young adults are overdue for their immunizations. It’s a great time to catch up, whether for school, sports, daycare, or other activities. Childhood immunizations are crucial for protecting children from serious diseases such as measles, mumps, pertussis,and diphtheria.

Hennepin County offers programs to help children get vaccinated, even if the family is uninsured, underinsured, or lacks a primary care provider.
