Note: Due to the high demand for immunizations, services are provided based on ticket number, to a limited number of clients each day on a first come, first served basis. The number of tickets issued is dependent upon staffing levels. Immunizations are provided on a walk-in basis only. No appointments are given.

BACK-TO-SCHOOL IMMUNIZATIONS HAVE BEGUN

ORLANDO – The Orange County Health Department’s (OCHD) Immunization Program is urging parents to begin preparing their children now for the upcoming school year. Parents can visit the Orange County Health Department Immunization Clinic or their medical homes or private doctor to have their children vaccinated and avoid the back-to-school rush and long lines during summer time. The closer we get to the new school year the longer the wait will be, so parents are urged to get their child vaccinated now.

The health department provides all immunizations now at the health department’s Central Health Center location at 832 West Central Boulevard. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 7:30am – 3:00 pm.

"Protect your children from vaccine preventable diseases and have them ready for school early. It is required that children are up-to-date on their immunizations in order to register for school”, said Dr. Kevin M. Sherin, Director of the Orange County Health Department.

Due to the high demand for immunizations, services are provided on a first come, first served, walk-in basis. The maximum number of children will be immunized each scheduled day based on staffing levels. Children must be accompanied by an adult relative or legal guardian to receive immunizations. If not, a notarized permission form, signed by the parent or legal guardian must be presented before services are rendered. A copy of each child’s immunization record and photo identification of the adult relative or legal guardian are required.

A valid Florida DH 680 immunization form (blue form) is required for school entry and is provided once your child has received all of their vaccinations. You can also obtain this blue form at your child’s doctor’s office and the OCHD immunization clinics or events if your child is already up-to-date on their immunizations.

Now is the time to get your child up-to-date on their immunizations and avoid the last minute rush to obtain shots required for school entry. For more information on childhood immunizations, call 407-836-2517.
