Where to Go For Your Shots

Keeping up to date with vaccines is very important but please also remember that it is important that you and your child have regular health checkups too! During those visits, talk to your doctor about which vaccines are recommended for you and for all family members. If your child does not have health insurance, there are resources available either in your doctor's office or at one of the locations listed below.

Kid Vaccines

If your child is without insurance or the insurance does not cover vaccines, there are free clinics state-wide where your child can receive immunizations. For a list of statewide immunization clinics, click here.  For a list of immunization clinics specific to Maricopa County, please click here.

Please keep in mind that “free” vaccines provided by county clinics and community health centers are very costly and in these tough times budgets and programs are being cut everywhere and every day.  That’s why TAPI has partnered with your insurance company to help recover the administrative cost associated with your visit.  If you have insurance we would like you to complete a simple form so that we may bill your insurance.  Please keep in mind YOU WILL NOT BE BILLED.  If you have a deductible or co-pay we do not collect that and we do not “balance bill” you for your visit.  Remember THE VISIT IS 100% FREE to you and your child.  No one will ask you to pay anything now or in the future.  If you have any questions please feel free to ask your Public Health Nurse or call TAPI at 602-288-7568. 

Adult Vaccines
 

The best route to stay up-to-date on your adult immunizations is to visit your Primary Care Provider (your doctor). If you do not have a Primary Care Provider, there are a few options to receive vaccines. Please read each option below to find a fit for you.
 

1. Primary Care Provider

If you are looking for a particular vaccine, we suggest you call and ask the questions below. Don't forget to ask if you are up-to-date on your immunizations each time you have a yearly physical. 

• Does your provider carry the vaccine?
• If not, can your provider order the vaccine?
• Can a script be written so you can pick it up at a pharmacy?
• Is the vaccine covered by insurance?

2. Community Health Centers
 

Community Health Centers accept most insurance and also offer the uninsured a sliding scale for services provided. Adults can receive immunizations and also general medical treatment. Click here for a list of Communuity Health Centers. ck  

3. Walk-In Care Clinics
 

Immunizations are available at most locations. We do suggest that you call prior. Many are open 7 days a week and accept insurance. Questions to consider:
