Missoula Public Health to hold May 7 child immunization clinic in Bonner
Summary
Missoula Public Health announced a May 7 immunization clinic at the local school offering routine child vaccines (Tdap, MMR, varicella, polio, HPV, meningitis); insurance will be billed and a sliding fee scale is available with a maximum out-of-pocket of $21.32 for uninsured patients.
Missoula Public Health told the Bonner Milltown Community Council on April 13 that it will hold a child-focused immunization clinic on May 7 from 3–5 p.m. at the local school. The clinic will offer routine and recommended vaccines for school-aged children including Tdap, MMR, varicella, polio, HPV and meningitis vaccine.
Maggie, the immunization-clinic coordinator, said the program aims to help families get immunizations ahead of the next school year. She said the clinic will bill insurance when available and offer a sliding fee scale for uninsured or underinsured families; the maximum out-of-pocket charge for those without insurance or who are underinsured was stated as $21.32.
The health department also noted that Missoula Public Health operates an international travel clinic by appointment, offering vaccines such as rabies and typhoid for travelers. Residents can contact Missoula Public Health for more details and to request additional adult-focused clinics (e.g., RSV, shingles, pneumonia) if community demand exists.
