Immunizations for Children Offered

St. John’s Regional Medical Center is offering low-cost childhood immunizations during the next several months at various locations in Camarillo and Oxnard.

Vaccinations include tetanus, mumps, measles, rubella, diphtheria, pertussis, polio, hepatitis B and hemophilus influenza type B.

The cost is $5 per child, regardless of how many vaccinations the child receives. The family maximum is $15, no matter how many children in each immediate family receive shots.

Children from newborns through the age of 18 can receive vaccinations with a parent or legal guardian present. Bring immunization cards to record the new vaccinations and to inform medical staff of vaccinations already received.
