NOTICE: The Barber County Health Department will no longer be having an open clinic on Wednesday afternoons for Immunizations. Due to insurance changes and the manner in which State vaccine is handled, it will be necessary to make appointments for immunizations. To reduce the in-office wait time, we would like for each client to call for an immunization appointment with the following information: the name of the insurance company, prior authorization phone number, and the card holder’s account number. Our office will contact the insurance company in advance of the scheduled appointment. Phone number: 620-886-3294 or 1-800-748-5788. We will still be providing State vaccine for those with State Insurance, and private vaccine for those with private insurance. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make these changes.
