If You Need Immunizations for Work

Do you need vaccines for your job? Check with your doctor or look in the Wisconsin Immunization Registry to see what you've already had.

Some adult vaccines are free at our clinics if you do not have insurance that covers vaccines. See if you qualify for our Adult Immunization Clinics.

Child Care Providers

It is recommended that all child care workers get these immunizations to protect themselves and the children in their care.

Health Care Workers and Long Term Care Providers

Some immunizations are required, and others are recommended to protect you and your patients. Check with your employer about which vaccines are required for your agency.

Immunizations Needed for Travel

Going somewhere? Prepare BEFORE you go, as far in advance as possible. Learn what immunizations and medications you might need at CDC Destinations.

Check with your doctor or look in the Wisconsin Immunization Registry to see what you've already had. We do not issue replacement immunization cards.

If you have health insurance that covers travel immunizations, call your clinic and ask where to go for a travel clinic appointment.

How to Get Travel Immunizations Not Covered by Your Insurance
