Childhood Immunizations - Our Mission
The purpose of Childhood Immunizations is to provide immunizations to children 0 through 18 and education to parents, guardians, and day care and school staff to reduce/eliminate the transmission of vaccine preventable diseases.
Why Immunize?

Immunizations have proven to be the most effective way to stop the spread of disease. Here in Maricopa County your child from 0-18 years is encouraged to receive childhood immunizations from either his/her health care provider or from one of the Maricopa County Department of Public Health childhood immunization clinics.
