Science and public health outcomes have proven that vaccines save lives and/or reduce serious illness.
Vaccines for flu, Covid-19, pneumonia, measles, shingles, HPV and other illnesses are key to community health, public health and family wellness.
Talk to your CHP health care provider or our Mobile Health Team about the benefits of vaccines. We can also help you assess whether any vaccine may pose an adverse reaction based on any underlying health conditions you may have.
VACCINE INFORMATION
- Visit our Mobile Health Calendar or the CHP Mobile Health Unit schedule.
- Many area pharmacies also offer vaccines, so check with a pharmacy in your neighborhood to learn more.
