Latest version.

  • The city health department director is hereby authorized to charge twenty dollars ($20.00) to each person to whom it provides an immunization against influenza, thirty-five dollars ($35.00) to each person to whom it provides a pneumococcal or other vaccines not covered by TVFC, or ten dollars ($10.00) per vaccine (dose) not to exceed a total of twenty dollars ($20.00) for persons that meet the Texas Immunization Safety-net guidelines.

    All other vaccines will be charged at cost plus a twenty dollar ($20.00) administrative fee.
