The Public Health Nurses (PHN) at the Summit County Health Department are here to ensure that everyone residing in Summit County has a trusted source to rely on for clinical services, knowledge, and resources.

Immunizations are one of public health’s greatest triumphs and an important aspect of preventative medicine—appropriate for all ages. We are committed to providing affordable vaccines to our clients—free to low-cost options are available to those who qualify. If you have insurance you can check here to see if we accept your policy.
Here is a link with instructions for obtaining your immunization records. You can come into any health department location to request a copy of your vaccine records. However, there is a small fee for an official copy.
A parent/guardian may claim an exemption to immunization for medical, religious, or personal reasons, as allowed by Section 53G-9-303 of the Utah Statutory Code. To receive a vaccination exemption form, the legally responsible individual who claims the exemption for the student must complete the online immunization education module.

According to Utah state law, certain communicable diseases are reported to the health department in an effort to prevent transmission and keep our community safe. A list of the reportable diseases can be found in the link below. The health department investigates, educates, and intervenes when necessary. We work closely with the state, local physicians, and other local health departments to minimize the impact of disease on our community’s health.
You might be contacted by one of our staff if you are diagnosed or exposed to one of the diseases listed in the link below. Please cooperate with them and feel free to contact the health department if you would like to verify their identity.
Most of the reportable diseases will automatically come from a lab or physician. If you have knowledge of a reportable disease that you believe has not been communicated with the Summit County Health Department you can call our Communicable Disease Coordinator at 435-336-3224 or fill out this Confidential Morbidity Report.

Clients must qualify through a screening by one of our Public Health Nurses. Call 435-333-1531 if you, a patient, or a loved one qualify.
