What to prepare before calling or visiting
A short checklist can prevent a wasted trip, especially because some services are appointment-only and clinic hours vary by service.
What services does the Forsyth County Health Department provide?
The clinical side provides child and adolescent services, WIC, childhood immunizations, women’s health, adult health, dental clinic access, travel clinic services, STD/HIV testing, TB skin testing and health screenings.
The Environmental Health side handles public health protection services such as septic systems, food service, public pools, rabies, complaints, body art, microblading, tourist accommodations, environmental health fees and commercial building plan review.
Child health, school shots, VFC vaccines and car seat help
Forsyth County child and adolescent services include well-child checkups for ages 0-21, hearing, vision and dental screenings, childhood immunizations, WIC support, car seat classes, car seat check appointments and referral programs.
The official child services page says VFC state-supplied vaccines are available for qualifying children ages 6 weeks through 18 years who are uninsured, underinsured, Alaska Native or American Indian, with an administration-fee-only structure for qualifying vaccines.
Call before the school deadline
School vaccine visits are easier when you have the child’s full shot record and know which form the school requires.
Bring records and eligibility details
Bring vaccine cards, prior clinic records, Medicaid/insurance details, parent/guardian ID and any referral paperwork.
Ask about car seat classes separately
Monthly car seat classes and car seat checks may have limited appointment availability, so do not assume same-day service.
