Vaccines for Infants, Children, & Teens

Immunizations are important for everyone, at all ages. We provide vaccines to reduce the spread of disease in our community and to protect health.

Childhood Vaccine Requirements
Childcare

Diseases are easily spread in group settings of children. Wisconsin law requires some vaccines for childcare settings to help protect from these diseases. If your child has received all recommended vaccines for their age, they will meet childcare requirements.

School

The Wisconsin Student Immunization Law PDF says that all students through grade 12 are required to have certain vaccines based on their grade and age. It is important that your child is up to date on vaccines so they don’t miss school.  

Look-up my/my child’s vaccination record

With the full FDA authorization/commercialization of the new COVID-19 vaccine formula, De Pere Health Department will no longer be able to administer COVID vaccine to everyone. We will have a limited supply of vaccine from the state through the Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program reserved for children without insurance or who are underinsured, including those that are Medicaid eligible. These doses are available at our routine VFC clinics once/month.

For adults and children with insurance that covers vaccine, please see your primary care physician, a local pharmacy, or www.vaccines.gov for COVID-19 vaccination options.   

Vaccines For Children (VFC) Program at De Pere Health Department

Children ages 18 years or younger are eligible for free vaccines if they meet at least one of the following requirements:

  • They are Medicaid eligible or Medicaid-enrolled
  • They have no health insurance
  • They are American Indian or Alaska Native, as defined by the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (25 U.S.C 1603)
  • They have health insurance, but the coverage does not include vaccines

If you have health insurance and are looking for vaccinations for your child, please contact their primary care provider or your local pharmacy. For more information, visit our main vaccine page.
