PLEASE NOTE: As part of our response to COVID-19, the Health Department has announced changes to its schedule and services that impact this service area. We are not scheduling new appointments for immunizations (childhood, travel and adult) at this time.
The Norwalk Health Department offers a Travel Immunization Program for those clients who require vaccination for travel abroad. Staff can provide consultations about travel vaccine needs. The Health Department is an authorized Yellow Fever Center and can provide travelers with the Certificate of Yellow Fever Vaccination, which is required to enter some countries. Prescriptions for malarial prophylaxis are also available.
