Immunization Clinics
The DuPage County Health Department offers all
required childhood immunizations at immunization clinics. Immunizations are also
available for adults that provide protection against Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, meningitis, influenza, and pneumonia.
All children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Parents
should bring all records of previous immunizations, including tetanus
immunizations given on an emergency basis. A fee is required per
immunization. Fees vary and are subject to change. Families participating
in Medicaid should bring their Medicaid cards. No one will be denied
immunizations from the Vaccines for Children program for inability to pay the
fee.
All Immunization Clinics are by appointment. Call 1-630-682-7400 for clinic information or to
schedule an appointment.
The locations of the clinics are:
- East Public Health Center, 1111 E. Jackson
Street, Lombard
- Southeast Public Health Center, 422 N. Cass
Avenue, Westmont
- West Public Health Center, 111 N. County Farm

Health officials recommend that children receive all immunizations that protect
them against diphtheria, tetanus (lockjaw), pertussis (whooping cough), polio,
measles, mumps, rubella, haemophilus flu, Varicella (chickenpox), Hepatitis A,
pneumococcal disease and hepatitis B before their second
birthday. Full immunizations are required for children entering kindergarten.
