Health Department Offers Childhood and Adult Immunizations

Brooksville- The Hernando County Health Department offers childhood and adult immunizations at both the Spring Hill and the Brooksville locations. Immunizations are available at the Spring Hill clinic, 7465 Forest Oaks Boulevard, from 7:40-5:00 on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Immunizations are offered in the Brooksville clinic, 300 S. Main Street, from 7:40 am until 5:00pm Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Both offices offer immunizations on Thursdays from 7:40 to 12:00pm.

Although walk-ins are welcome, appointments are encouraged to better serve the community. To make an appointment, call 352-540-6800.

Seasonal and H1N1 Swine flu vaccines are not provided through these clinics. These vaccinations will be provided through community based clinics during the fall and winter months. Watch for announcements for a site near you.

Vaccines to prevent serious and/or deadly diseases are one of the greatest successes of the 20th century. Vaccine-preventable diseases are at their lowest levels ever thanks to the public compliance with recommended vaccine schedules.

For more information on immunizations provided by the Hernando County Health Department, please call 540-6800 or visit www.Hernandohealth.org.
