CHILD Immunizations
Why immunize your child?
Prevention is always better than treatment. Vaccines not only protect your child from diseases but also shield those around them. This is essential for public health, as vaccine-preventable diseases can lead to costly medical bills, hospitalizations, and even loss of work for parents. In Georgia, the law mandates vaccination for school and childcare attendance, and specific requirements exist for 7th and 11th graders. Make sure your child’s immunizations are current by visiting one of our health centers; we can identify and provide any needed vaccines.
How should you prepare for your visit to GNR Health Departments with your child?
Prepare for your visit to the Gwinnett, Newton, and Rockdale County Health Departments by ensuring your child has eaten or keeping a snack handy to prevent low blood sugar-related issues. Bring all your child’s immunization records with you at the time of visit.
Vaccinations starts at $21.
If your child receives required vaccinations at one of our health centers, you will be provided a Georgia Immunization Certificate (Form 3231) free of charge on the day of vaccination.
What school screenings does GNR provide?
Our services include school screenings, immunizations, hearing, vision, dental checkups, and nutrition assessments, along with any necessary record transfers required for your child to attend school and childcare in Georgia.
