Children under age 19 qualify if they–

• are an American Indian or Alaska Native.

Ask us which vaccines are recommended for children in your home.

Our staff can provide information about how to sign up. Reproductive health conversations are confidential.

Reproductive health services are supported by CCare, the Oregon Contraceptive Care program.
