Each visit includes approximately 5 to 7 days’ worth of diapers, wipes, and a selection of other baby care essentials, depending on current availability.

Acerca de Nosotros La salud pública en el Condado de Nemaha tiene una larga historia de compromiso y crecimiento. Desde 1979, cuando comenzaron los servicios bajo la Agencia de Salud en el Hogar del Condado de Nemaha, hemos expandido continuamente para satisfacer las necesidades de salud en evolución de nuestra comunidad.

En 1996, los servicios especializados de atención domiciliaria se fusionaron con el Hospital Comunitario de Sabetha, y el 1 de octubre de 1996 se estableció Nemaha County Community Health Services (NCCHS) para continuar brindando servicios esenciales de salud pública en el condado. Nuestro equipo está profundamente arraigado en las comunidades que servimos. Somos sus vecinos—compramos localmente, apoyamos a los equipos locales y enviamos a nuestros hijos a escuelas cercanas.

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

Learn about immunization schedules, what to expect, and how NCCHS makes vaccinations safe and accessible for all Nemaha County families. Inmunizaciones en la Infancia A medida que tu hijo crece, las inmunizaciones rutinarias continúan jugando un papel vital en la protección de su salud. Entre los 19 meses y los 10 años, los niños reciben refuerzos importantes que fortalecen la inmunidad construida durante la infancia y brindan protección contra enfermedades como el sarampión, las paperas, la rubéola, la varicela, la polio y la tos ferina. Estas vacunas están programadas para ofrecer la mejor defensa durante los primeros años escolares—cuando los niños están en contacto cercano con otros y es más probable que se expongan a gérmenes. Mantenerse al día con el calendario de vacunación no solo ayuda a prevenir enfermedades graves, sino que también mantiene a tu hijo elegible para asistir a la escuela y participar en actividades. En NCCHS, facilitamos que mantengas a tu hijo al día. Nuestro equipo está aquí para responder tus preguntas, explicar el calendario de vacunación y asegurarse de que tu hijo esté protegido en cada paso del camino. Llama al 785-284-2152 para programar una cita o para saber qué inmunización necesita tu hijo. Las vacunas son una forma simple y poderosa de proteger a tu hijo—y a la comunidad—de enfermedades prevenibles. Difteria, Tétanos y Tos ferina acelular (DTaP) La vacuna DTaP protege a tu hijo contra tres enfermedades graves. La difteria puede causar problemas respiratorios, el tétanos provoca dolorosas contracciones musculares (trismo), y la tos ferina (pertussis) puede causar ataques de tos intensos y dificultad para respirar, especialmente en los bebés. Los refuerzos ayudan a mantener fuerte la protección de tu hijo a medida que crece. Aprende Más Sarampión, Paperas y Rubéola La vacuna MMR protege contra tres enfermedades contagiosas. El sarampión puede causar neumonía e inflamación cerebral, las paperas pueden provocar pérdida de la audición e inflamación del cerebro o de los órganos reproductivos, y la rubéola puede ser peligrosa para los bebés no nacidos. Dos dosis brindan una protección fuerte y duradera. Aprende Más Hepatitis A La hepatitis A es un virus que afecta el hígado y se transmite a través de alimentos o agua contaminados, o por contacto cercano con alguien que esté infectado. Puede causar fiebre, dolor de estómago, vómitos y coloración amarillenta de la piel (ictericia). Dos dosis de la vacuna brindan una protección fuerte y tranquilidad. Aprende Más COVID-19 COVID-19 puede afectar a niños de todas las edades y puede provocar enfermedades graves, síntomas a largo plazo o hospitalización. La vacuna contra COVID-19 ayuda a proteger a tu hijo al reducir el riesgo de enfermedad grave y de contagiar a otros. Mantenerse al día con las dosis recomendadas mantiene su protección fuerte a medida que el virus evoluciona. Aprende Más Polio (Vacuna Inactivada contra el Poliovirus - IPV) La polio es un virus que puede causar parálisis permanente o incluso la muerte. Aunque ha sido eliminada en los Estados Unidos, todavía existe en algunas partes del mundo. La vacuna contra la polio (IPV) brinda a tu hijo una protección segura y duradera, y ayuda a evitar que esta enfermedad regrese. Aprende Más Varicela La varicela causa un sarpullido con picazón, fiebre y fatiga. Aunque muchos casos son leves, a veces puede provocar infecciones en la piel, neumonía o complicaciones graves. La vacuna contra la varicela protege a tu hijo y ayuda a evitar la propagación a otros, incluidos los recién nacidos y las personas con sistemas inmunológicos débiles. Aprende Más Gripe La gripe es más que un resfriado fuerte—puede causar fiebre alta, tos, fatiga y complicaciones graves como neumonía. Se recomienda la vacuna contra la gripe cada año para proteger a tu hijo de las cepas cambiantes del virus y ayudar a reducir la propagación en las escuelas y comunidades. Aprende Más
