Troubleshooters Immunization Program

In an effort to increase the percentage of children who are fully immunized in Harris County, the Harris County Hospital District provides immunizations for children in non-traditional settings (day cares, Medicaid offices, pre-schools, public events, etc). This program helps reduce the potential of childhood disease outbreaks like measles, educates parents about the importance of sibling immunization and reduces potential inpatient costs for sick children.

Children's shot records are reviewed and parental consents are obtained prior to immunizations. HCHD nurses follow-up, as needed, with additional immunizations. Children who are identified with a health problem are referred to HCHD's community health centers for a physician visit.
