Immunizations  

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), every year 3.2 million children survive because they have been immunized. Another 2 million die because they were not immunized.

Buncombe County makes it easy to get the immunizations your child needs. You can walk in at any time during clinic hours for your child's shots.

Remember to always bring your child's Lifetime Immunization Record to every health care visit.

Is there a fee?

Many child immunizations are given with no fee. Other child immunizations do have a fee.  For some of these child immunizations, a fee is only charged if the child has health insurance.

Contact our Immunization Clinic for further information.

How is the fee paid?

For child immunizations only, we bill all insurance plans directly.  After we receive the insurance payment, we send the client a bill, if there is any unpaid balance.  If you are not able to pay in full at that time, you can contact our Accounting Office to make a payment plan.

BCDH currently participates with these insurance programs:  Medicaid, Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and NC Health Choice.  If you are under one of these plans, we will bill them directly for both adult and child immunizations.

Is there a sliding scale?

There is no sliding scale for these services.

Is there a residence requirement?

There is no residence requirement for the childhood immunizations required for school attendance.
