Vaccines

Your Health. Your Health Department.

Types of Vaccines

Vaccines for Children

Wood County Health Department works closely with Wood County medical providers to ensure that every child has the access to immunizations. Please visit your healthcare provider for information about immunizations. If your provider does not offer immunizations, the Wood County Health Department provides them for children birth through age 18.

Appointments can be made by calling 419-354-9049. We accept Medicaid and many private insurances. No child is turned away from Vaccines For Children (VFC) vaccines if their family is unable to pay for the shots.

Vaccines for Adults

Certain vaccines, including COVID, Flu and RSV, are recommended for adults. To see the CDCs vaccine recommendation for people age 19 and older, click here: CDC Vaccine Schedule – Adults. Contact your health care provider to schedule adult vaccinations.

Seasonal Vaccines

Updated COVID-19 Vaccine (Updated October 2, 2025)

The COVID-19 vaccine is approved for use in individuals who are:

65 years of age and older, or

6 months through 64 years of age with at least one underlying condition that puts them at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19.

Prior to vaccination, an eligible nurse or other health care professionals will speak to you and assess your eligibility based on criteria established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and in accordance with the FDA’s Approved Spikevax Package Insert (dated 8/2025).

The virus that causes COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, is always changing and protection from COVID-19 vaccines declines over time. Receiving an updated COVID-19 vaccine can restore and enhance protection against the virus variants currently responsible for most infections and hospitalizations in the United States.

Vaccine Safety

Vaccines currently authorized for use in the U.S. are safe and effective. These vaccines have undergone and will continue to undergo the most intensive safety monitoring in U.S. history.
