Who is the Immunization Outreach for?

This outreach is open for individuals who need an update with their immunizations for daycare/school and people ages 12+ who need a COVID-19 vaccine. The first 30 people (ages 12+) who get a COVID- 19 vaccine at an outreach will also receive a gas voucher.

School heath certificate process at outreach:

• Bring your child to a school outreach site. Children will need to be accompanied by a parent/legal guardian.
• Our team will verify if your child is up to date on vaccinations for the upcoming school year 2023-2024.
• Children who are not up to date are able to get vaccinated at the school outreach site. If vaccines are unavailable, a temporary school health certificate (30 days) will be issued.
• Pay $5 (cash only, exact change preferred) for a school health certificate
• Get your child(ren) school health certificate on site and submit to respective school/daycare.

How can I find out if my child is up to date?

To find out if your child is up to date with their vaccines, please call the CNMI Immunization Program at (670) 236-8745 to ensure contact information is correct.
