This means that you require the use of a walker or wheelchair to leave your home, your health condition may worsen if you leave your home, it is difficult for you to leave your home and you usually do not leave your home. Please call 607-274-6604 to register for this service.
Mobile clinics
TCWH offers mobile flu clinics during the start of flu season, usually in the month of October. If your organization is interested in hosting a flu clinic and has at least 10 people who want to be vaccinated, please call 607-274-6604 to speak with a nurse manager to organize this. Planning for mobile flu clinics usually starts in July or August.

Immunization Updates for the 2024-25 School Year
Many children need to receive vaccines during the summer to stay up-to-date and comply with school vaccination requirements.
Current NYS School Immunization Regulations
Please review the following schedules before school starts.
- 2024-25 School Year, New York State Immunization Requirements for School Entrance/Attendance (PDF)
- Tous les enfants entrant en 7e, 8e, 9e, 10e et 12e année d'études doivent se faire vacciner contre le méningocoque . Sans cela, ils ne peuvent pas commencer l'école.
- Les enfants scolarisés doivent désormais être immunisés avec une série complète de tous les vaccins requis - ou être en train de le faire - pour pouvoir suivre les cours. Selon la définition actuelle de l'expression « en cours de vaccination » , les enfants qui ne sont pas complètement vaccinés ne peuvent continuer à fréquenter l'école ou le jardin d'enfants que s'ils sont en train de terminer leur vaccination conformément au calendrier de rattrapage de l'ACIP. Si les enfants suivent d'autres calendriers de vaccination qui ne respectent pas les intervalles spécifiés par le calendrier de rattrapage de l'ACIP, ils ne sont plus considérés comme étant « en cours de vaccination » et doivent être exclus de l'école, s'ils n'en sont pas exemptés.
« Be Wise, Immunize »
La campagne d'immunisation de tous les New-Yorkais est une initiative des responsables de la santé du comté de New York (NYSACHO), qui rassemble les patients, les parents, les prestataires de soins et les partenaires de la campagne. Notre objectif : sensibiliser à la nécessité de vacciner tout au long de la vie - de la petite enfance au troisième âge - en offrant des informations fiables et scientifiques sur les vaccins et les maladies évitables par la vaccination.
Pour plus d'informations, visitez le site web de la Campaign to ImmuNYze ou téléchargez les brochures ici : « Be Wise, Immunize! » et « Don't Wait, Vaccinate ! »

Vaccine Information Statements (VIS)
Vaccine Information Statements (VIS) are fact sheets produced by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC.) Each VIS explains to vaccine recipients, their parents, or their legal representatives both the benefits and risks of a vaccine. At any TCHD clinic, you will be provided with the specific VIS for the vaccine or vaccines you or your child are about to receive. You will also be given time to review it before the vaccine is administered.
