Immunizations
Summit County Public Health (SCPH) participates in the Vaccine for Children Program (VFC), which enables SCPH to charge only an administration fee of $21 per VFC shot. Children through 18 years of age who are Medicaid-eligible or uninsured/under-insured orAmerican Indian or Alaska Native are eligible to receive VFC. vaccine.
Care Coordination
The Summit County Public Health Care Coordination Unit was created to help Summit County residents connect with community services that are available to them and to assist residents through the process of getting the help they need. There is no charge for this service, and it can help individuals and families work their way through the sometimes-confusing steps toward meeting their needs.
