Expand/Contract Questions and Answers

Do I have to have an appointment?

This is an appointment-based clinic. Walk-ins will be subject to the availability of staff and not guaranteed to be seen on the same day.
Do you provide TB testing?

Yes, we are able to offer TB Risk Assessments, PPD skin tests, or TB Quantiferon testing.
Can Kern County Public Health provide a copy of my child/children's immunization card?

Yes, however, we encourage you to utilize the Digital Vaccine Record functionality provided by the California Department of Public Health. This will provide the most current and accurate vaccine record that KCPH has access to. If you are having trouble accessing your vaccine record, contact your primary care physician’s office to ensure contact information is correct. If you are unable to access/obtain records, KCPH can provide records, and there may be a fee for providing record.
Do I have to be present with my child to receive immunizations?

The parent/guardian must be present with the child, unless the “parent permission slip” is completed and photo ID is provided.
Do I have to register on My Turn and complete the registration form?

Yes, both registration on My Turn and the paper form must be completed.
Will they bill my insurance for services?

Yes, insurance information will be collected, and if eligible, reimbursement will be submitted to your insurance.
If I do not have insurance, am I able to receive vaccines?

Yes, there are federal programs available such as Vaccines for Children, that provide free vaccine costs to children eligible. Please note, you may still be responsible for the administration fee adopted by KCPH.
Who is eligible for VFC vaccines at no cost?

To be eligible for VFC, you must be Medi-Cal eligible/enrolled, American or Alaskan native, be uninsured, or be underinsured.

Please see the resource list below for other vaccine for children (VFC) providers in Kern County that are offering vaccines. Please note, availability and scheduling are dependent on the organization. Please contact these agencies directly for services at their locations.
