Accepted insurances include Medicaid, as well as Georgia State Health Benefit Plan (SHBP) Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS). For information on cost for self-pay clients, please contact Shana Townshend, Front Office Supervisor, at 678-721-3248.
The purpose of these clinics is to offer extended hours and increased availability for immunizations and HVDN screenings immediately before and after pre-school registration on Tuesday, February 25th.
During each clinic, the health department will exclusively dedicate two registered nurses to immunization services, as well as a registered nurse and a laboratory technician to HVDN screening services. Front office and administrative staff will also dedicate personnel for related support services, including transferring out-of-state vaccination records to electronic databases for children moving to Georgia.
