Free Walk-In Children’s Immunization Clinics:

• Every Thursday of the month from 8:00-4:30 PM unless otherwise posted.
• We have an office at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, 46 Cale St., Poseyville, IN 47633. We will be open every Wednesday from 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM.

These clinics are for:

• Children that do not have health insurance
• Children that have Medicaid
• Children that are underinsured (insurance that does not cover vaccines)
• Children that are American Indian or Alaskan Native

Clinic Requirements:

Children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent/legal guardian. (The child may come with another adult if the parent/guardian dates & signs a letter naming the adult and child, giving the adult permission to bring the child). A complete shot record showing all immunizations since birth is required. Children should wear short sleeves and eat before coming to the clinic. Please be prepared to wait. Call the Health Department with questions at 812-838-1328.
