The Oklahoma Caring Van ProgramThe Oklahoma Caring Van Program delivers immunizations to protect children and adolescents from dangerous illnesses at no cost to their families. The Oklahoma Caring Van Program’s goal is to remove barriers that too often prevent children from receiving the vaccines they need at the appropriate time.

The Oklahoma Caring Van Program offers all vaccines required for school and child care enrollment. Immunizations are administered by public health nurses who specialize in immunizations.
