Newman Memorial Hospital provides vaccines for adults, 18 years and older with insurance/Medicare. Adults without insurance are encouraged to contact the Woodward County Health Department 580-256-6416 for needed vaccines.
Immunization hours of operation are Monday - Thursday 8:30 - 4:00 and Friday 8:30 - 12:00. Closed daily from 12-1 for lunch.
