*Insurance Announcement*
Beginning on July 10, 2014, Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) began accepting private insurance for payment of adult and child immunizations. Please present a copy of your photo ID and current insurance card at check-in. A claim will be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement, and you will be notified with a statement from OSDH of your responsibility for any co-pays, deductibles, or charges that are denied by your insurance company. Some sliding scale fees may apply. Payment is not required for services. Please do not allow your inability to pay restrict future visits.

What should I bring to an immunization visit?
When coming in for immunizations, be sure to bring the following:
- Parent's ID
- Current copy of the shot record. This makes it easier for our staff to see which shots you need, and it also helps decrease your waiting time.
- Child's Social Security number.
- Sooner Care number, if applicable.
- If you are accompanying a minor other than your own, please make sure to have a letter of authorization or guardianship. This allows our staff to give shots to that individual.
How can I get copies of my child’s shot records?
If you or your child have ever received immunizations through any county health department and you need a copy of that shot record, you may request a copy at the front desk. One will be provided to you at the end of your visit. For more information on school immunizations click here.
