When you call, name the exact service. Say “I need a school vaccine,” “I need a TB test for work,” “I need HIV and STI testing,” “I need help because I cannot get transportation,” or “I need a physical exam form completed.” Specific wording makes it easier for staff to route you.

Vaccines and immunizations at Boone County Health Department
The official immunization page says Boone County Health Department offers vaccinations daily from 8 AM-3:30 PM and provides immunizations for infants, children, teens and adults. It also asks users to bring a copy of their immunization record and health insurance if they have any.
Identify the vaccine or deadline
School, employment, college, childcare, seasonal protection, catch-up immunization and travel-related questions are not always the same visit.
Call before going
Call 304-369-7967 and ask whether the vaccine is available, whether a nurse is available, and what documents are required.
Bring records and forms
Bring prior immunization records, health insurance if available, ID and any school, employer or program forms.
WIC services, nutrition support and breastfeeding help
The official Boone County page lists Valley Health WIC services for women, infants and children. The page says WIC provides nutritious food, individual counseling, nutrition education, breastfeeding promotion and support, and referrals to other needed services.
WIC hours are not the same as the general office schedule. Call first if you are arranging transportation or coming from a rural area.
| WIC item | Official detail | What to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Office phone | 304-369-7967 | Name, phone number, pregnancy or child information and appointment question. |
| Wednesday and Thursday | 8:00 AM-4:30 PM | Ask whether your appointment is in person, by phone or another format. |
| Friday | 8:00 AM-9:00 AM | Confirm before visiting because this is a short service window. |

| Services | Nutritious food, counseling, nutrition education, breastfeeding support and referrals. | Proof of identity, residency, income/benefit information and child/pregnancy details when requested. |
Before a WIC appointment
- Ask what proof of identity, residency and income is needed.
- Ask whether the child, infant or pregnant applicant must be present.
- Ask how missed appointments, benefit questions or breastfeeding support are handled.
- Ask whether the appointment is with Boone County Health Department or Valley Health WIC staff.
Mobile health unit for residents with transportation barriers
The official mobile unit page asks whether someone needs a healthcare provider, has difficulty getting transportation, is up to date on vaccinations, or has received COVID, flu or RSV vaccines. It says residents can call Boone County Health Department at 304-369-7967 to schedule a visit in their area.
Treat the mobile unit as an official service route to ask about, not a guaranteed same-day home visit. The department will need to know your location, need, availability and whether the service can be handled by the mobile unit.
STD clinic and testing in Boone County
The official STD Clinic and Testing page lists free and confidential testing recommended for people with risk factors such as sex without latex condoms, needle sharing, possible exposure to someone with an STD, or more than one lifetime sexual partner.
Testing listed on the page includes HIV, syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea. Hepatitis B and hepatitis C testing require specific criteria. Diagnosis of herpes and genital warts is made by visual inspection by appointment only.
Quick Response Team, naloxone resources and harm reduction support
Boone County Health Department’s Quick Response Team is described as a collaboration among first responders, public health, peer recovery coaches and partners that supports people struggling with substance use and addiction.
The official QRT page lists 866-800-0778 to report an overdose to the Boone County QRT. The naloxone page says free naloxone is available daily at the Boone County Health Department and at Health Response Team community events.
Food handler cards, food permits and restaurant help
The official Food Handler Information page says food handler certifications, also called food cards, are required by the Boone County Health Department. Anyone working with food preparation, serving or cooking is required to have a food handler card, and the card is good for one year from the date issued when received from the online class or a local class.
Food businesses need to plan early. Official food permit pages say new, renovated or ownership-change food establishments must go through plan review, and food establishments must be inspected and issued an operational permit before opening.
| Food safety task | Best official starting point | Do this before you spend money |
|---|---|---|
| Food handler card | Food Handler Information | Confirm accepted online or local class options and card rules. |
| New restaurant, kitchen or market | New food establishment permit steps | Plan review is required before opening. Do not wait until opening week. |
| Permanent food permit | Food Permits | Floor plans and Plan Review Information Report should be submitted at least 45 days before construction, conversion or remodeling. |
| Temporary or mobile food vendor | Temporary and mobile permit section | Applications with the appropriate fee should be submitted at least one week before the event. |
| Food complaint or suspected foodborne illness | Food Safety page | Write down business name, address, date, time, foods eaten, symptoms and contact information. |
Environmental health inspections, permits and sanitation services
The official Environmental Services page says the Boone County Environmental Services Division is responsible for permitting and inspecting campgrounds, motels, child care facilities, tattoo and piercing studios, food service establishments and more within Boone County.
Other official environmental categories include lodging, family and child care centers, general sanitation, tattoo and piercing parlors, water wells and water testing, sewage and grease trap systems, pools and spas, manufactured home communities, pest control, animal bites and rabies, landlord/tenant rights, disaster sanitation, environmental fees and complaints.
Name the exact issue
Say whether it is a well, septic, water test, lodging, pool, childcare, tattoo studio, food facility, animal bite, sanitation complaint or disaster sanitation issue.
Give the location
Use the full address, business name, event site, property details or community location.
Ask what form or permit applies
Do not assume one permit covers every use. Ask about forms, timing, inspections and fees.
Threat preparedness, health alerts and public health emergencies
The official Threat Preparedness page covers planning and programs to detect, investigate and control threats such as emerging infectious diseases, outbreaks, pandemics, chemical or radiological exposures, bioterrorism, floods, storms and natural disasters.
Boone County Health Department also promotes alerts, news, calendar updates and an app for real-time updates. Use preparedness resources for public-health alerts and disaster-related guidance, not for immediate life-threatening emergencies.
What Boone County Health Department may not handle
The department handles many public health services, but not every health-related problem belongs there. Calling the wrong office can delay care, permits or benefits.
| If you need | Do not rely only on | Better route |
|---|---|---|
| Immediate emergency medical care | Routine office phone, website, email or on-call public health line. | Call 911 or go to emergency care. |
| Hospital bill or private doctor bill help | Health department front desk. | Contact the hospital, clinic, provider or insurer that issued the bill. |
| SNAP, Medicaid or cash assistance | County health department clinic. | Use the relevant West Virginia benefits agency or program office. For broader agency context, see our health and human services guide. |
| Birth certificate or statewide vital record | Boone County Health Department unless staff confirm the correct route. | Use the appropriate state vital records office. See our birth certificate through health department guide for general steps. |
| Private medical records from a doctor or hospital | BCHD unless BCHD provided the service. | Contact the provider or records custodian that created the record. |
| Another Boone County in another state | Danville, WV office. | Use your local Boone County or state health department. For general lookup help, see our health department near me guide. |
Boone County WV vs other Boone County health departments
