Some of this vaccine was supplied by a government grant called Section-317. Eligibility for the shingles vaccines through the Section-317 grant include those who are uninsured and underinsured (insurance will not cover immunizations).
Once the doses the health department received from the Section-317 grant are given, the shingles vaccine will only be available through private insurance and private-pay options.
If you have insurance you need to call and check to see if the Daviess County Health Department is a provider for your insurance, and if the insurance will pay for the shingles immunization.
It is important for the health department to give the shingles vaccine from its appropriate stock — “317-which is free” or “covered by health insurance or private pay.”
Other adult vaccines available at the health department include: Tdap; Pnuemovax 23; Prevnar 13; HPV 9; Twinrix (Hep A/B); Hep B; MMR; Varicella; MCV4 (Meningitis).
