Many children in Garland are eligible for free or low-cost vaccinations through the Texas Vaccines for Children Program. Children who do not have health insurance or who have health insurance that does not cover vaccines qualify for TVFC vaccines, as well as children who are enrolled in Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
If you have questions about the vaccinations your child needs for school enrollment, call the Garland Public Health Clinic (972-205-3370) for more information. The Garland Public Health Clinic at 206 Carver Drive not only provides low-cost immunizations for infants and children through age 18, but also immunizations for adults of all ages.
