Through this program, families can access free diapers, wipes, and other essential baby items on a monthly basis.

This service is provided with no questions asked. Families may receive supplies once per month. Each visit includes approximately 5 to 7 days’ worth of diapers, wipes, and a selection of other baby care essentials, depending on current availability. The Little Nest Family Resource Bank is open for walk-ins at our Sabetha office during regular business hours. For families using the Seneca office, we ask that you call ahead to schedule a pickup. This helps us ensure the correct diaper size and other needed items are available when you arrive.

Keep your teen protected with recommended vaccines for ages 11–18. NCCHS offers safe, accessible immunizations for Nemaha County adolescents, including school-required shots. Adolescent Immunizations As kids grow into teens, their immune systems—and their lifestyles—change. Between the ages of 11 and 18, certain vaccines are needed to boost protection built during childhood and to guard against new risks that come with adolescence, such as increased exposure to certain infections in school, sports, social activities, or future travel. Recommended adolescent vaccines protect against serious diseases like meningitis, whooping cough, HPV-related cancers, tetanus, and more. Some are required for school entry or college, and others—like the HPV vaccine—offer protection later in life by preventing cancer-causing infections. At NCCHS, we’re here to help your teen stay healthy, active, and protected. Our team can answer questions about vaccine safety, timing, and school requirements, and we’ll work with your family to keep your child on schedule. Call 785-284-2152 to schedule an appointment or speak with a nurse about your teen’s immunization needs. Vaccines aren’t just for little kids—protection during the teen years matters too. Tetanus, Diphtheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap) This vaccine is a booster for the childhood DTaP series. It protects against tetanus (a painful infection from cuts or wounds), diphtheria (a throat infection that can block breathing), and pertussis (whooping cough), which can cause severe coughing fits and spread easily to babies and others. It’s recommended at age 11 to keep protection strong. Learn More Human Papillomavirus The HPV vaccine protects against the types of HPV that cause most cervical cancers, as well as cancers of the throat, anus, and genitals in both males and females. It’s most effective when given at ages 11–12, but can be started as early as 9. Early protection means a lower risk of cancer later in life. Two doses are given if started before age 15; three doses if started later. Learn More Influenza The flu is more than just a bad cold—it can cause high fever, cough, fatigue, and serious complications like pneumonia. The flu shot is recommended every year to protect your child from the changing strains of the virus and to help reduce the spread in schools and communities. Learn More Meningococcal This vaccine protects against meningococcal disease, a rare but serious illness that can cause meningitis (inflammation of the brain and spinal cord) and bloodstream infections. These conditions can be life-threatening and progress quickly. A first dose is recommended at age 11 or 12, with a booster at 16 to keep teens protected during the highest-risk years. Learn More Meningococcal B The MenB vaccine protects against a rare but serious strain of meningitis that can cause brain swelling and bloodstream infections. It’s recommended for ages 16–23, especially for those heading to college or living in group housing. The vaccine adds important protection during the years when the risk is highest. Learn More COVID-19 COVID-19 can affect children of all ages and may lead to serious illness, long-term symptoms, or hospitalization. The COVID-19 vaccine helps protect your child by reducing the risk of severe illness and spread to others. Staying up to date with recommended doses keeps their protection strong as the virus evolves. Learn More

RSV The RSV vaccine helps protect babies from serious illness caused by Respiratory Syncytial Virus, which can lead to trouble breathing, especially in infants and young children. It’s especially important for newborns, premature babies, and those with certain health conditions. Getting the vaccine—either mom during pregnancy or baby after birth—helps give your baby extra protection during RSV season. Learn More Rotavirus The rotavirus vaccine protects your baby from a common virus that causes severe diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration.

Vaccinating your baby with IPV keeps them protected and helps prevent the return of this dangerous disease. Learn More Influenza The flu vaccine protects your baby from influenza, which can cause high fever, cough, body aches, and serious complications like pneumonia.

Learn More Varicella The varicella vaccine protects your child from chickenpox, a common illness that causes an itchy rash and fever. While chickenpox is usually mild, it can sometimes lead to serious complications like infections or pneumonia. Getting the vaccine helps keep your child safe and prevents the spread of this contagious disease to others. Learn More Meningococcal The meningococcal vaccine protects your child from meningitis, a serious infection that can cause inflammation of the brain and spinal cord coverings. This infection can come on quickly and be life-threatening. Getting the vaccine helps keep your child safe by preventing this dangerous disease. Learn More Hepatitis B The Hepatitis B (Hep B) vaccine protects your baby from a serious liver infection that can be lifelong. Because Hep B can be passed from mom to baby during birth, the first dose is recommended within 24 hours after birth. Starting the vaccine series early helps protect your baby right from the beginning. Learn More Diphtheria, Tetanus, and acellular Pertussis (DTap) The DTaP vaccine protects your baby from three serious diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough). Whooping cough can be especially dangerous for infants, causing coughing fits, trouble breathing, and even hospitalization.

Stay protected at every stage of life with recommended adult vaccines. NCCHS offers accessible immunizations for adults in Nemaha County, including flu, shingles, Tdap, and more. Adult Immunizations Vaccines aren’t just for kids—adults need protection too. As we age, our immunity can fade, and we may become more vulnerable to serious diseases. Some vaccines are needed only once, while others require boosters over time to stay effective. Whether you're starting college, planning a pregnancy, traveling, managing a chronic condition, or simply aging into new recommendations, staying up to date on immunizations helps protect your health and the people around you. Common adult vaccines protect against diseases like tetanus, shingles, pneumonia, flu, COVID-19, and cancers caused by HPV. Some are recommended based on age, health conditions, lifestyle, or job-related risks. At NCCHS, we make it easy to know what you need and when. Our nurses can help you check your immunization status, answer your questions, and make a personalized plan to keep you protected at every stage of life. Call 785-284-2152 to schedule an appointment or talk to a nurse. It’s never too late to protect your health with the power of vaccines. Tetanus, Diphtheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap) The Tdap vaccine protects you from three serious diseases: tetanus, which can cause painful muscle stiffness from cuts or wounds; diphtheria, a throat infection that can block breathing; and pertussis (whooping cough), which causes severe coughing fits that can be dangerous for babies and others around you. Adults should get a Tdap booster every 10 years to stay protected. Learn More Pneumococcal (Pneumonia) This vaccine protects against pneumococcal bacteria that can cause pneumonia, bloodstream infections, and meningitis. It is especially recommended for adults 50 and older and for younger adults with certain health conditions to help prevent serious illness. Learn More Shingrix (Shingles) Recommended for adults age 50 and older, the shingles vaccine helps prevent shingles, a painful rash caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus. Shingles can lead to long-lasting nerve pain, so getting vaccinated reduces your risk of this uncomfortable and sometimes serious condition. Learn More Influenza The flu vaccine is recommended yearly for all adults to protect against seasonal flu viruses. The flu can cause high fever, body aches, and serious complications, especially in older adults or those with chronic health issues. Getting your annual flu shot helps keep you and those around you healthy during flu season. Learn More Hepatitis B This vaccine guards against a serious liver infection that spreads through blood and bodily fluids. It is recommended for adults at risk, such as healthcare workers, and for those who want to protect themselves from infection. Learn More RSV RSV is a common virus that can cause serious illness in older adults, especially those 60 and older or with chronic health conditions like asthma, heart disease, or diabetes. The RSV vaccine helps protect against lower respiratory infections, including bronchitis and pneumonia, which can lead to hospitalization. One dose is recommended for eligible adults, especially during RSV season, to reduce the risk of severe illness and complications. Learn More Human Papillomavirus The HPV vaccine protects against several types of human papillomavirus that can cause cancers of the cervix, throat, anus, and genitals. It is recommended for adults up to age 26 and for some adults aged 27 to 45 after discussing with their healthcare provider. Learn More COVID-19 The COVID-19 vaccine protects you from severe illness, hospitalization, and long-term symptoms caused by the coronavirus.
