Super Shot�s mission
To educate, promote vaccination and increase avenues for immunizations for all children in Allen County and surrounding communities. Super Shot�s vision is a 90% immunization rate for Allen County.
History:
Super Shot was founded in 1992 to address the critically low immunization rates in Allen County. Free immunization clinics were opened on designated Saturdays at various sites around the city twice each year. In the fall of 1998 changes in federal funding coupled with new state laws mandating additional shots for children entering school, resulted in an unprecedented health crisis for our community. To alleviate this crisis Super Shot began operating weekly free immunization clinics in the evenings and on weekends in neighborhoods convenient for families.
Current Services:
Today, Super Shot provides immunizations against flu and 17 other vaccine preventable childhood diseases to children ages birth to 18 and education about vaccines in the community.
