I just did some checking
Our local Salvation Army center runs a free/low cost health clinic
Our CVS pharmacy has a “Minute Clinic” that has an ala carte menu for services, minor procdeures, exams, and vaccinations. A basic physical exam is $59. My dd will have camp physical next week for $35
Our County Health department has free immunizations and vaccines for kids under age 19. $10 donation is appreciated but not required for service.
check your local area for free medical clinics or call yr county Health Department for suggestions
Son and wife are taking baby to the pediatrician who was my son’s doctor from the time he was born. But baby comes first and they should find out, before jumping into medicaid, if the doc takes medicaid patients. If not, the suggestions you gave are worth checking into. Thank you!

Excellent suggestion!! We had friends who utilized these reduced cost services, for their kids, when they were with young ones...and in between jobs or working jobs without benefits.
Maybe you can pitch in to cover the cost (of immunizations), or babysit...or both, until they get on their feet with jobs that have benefits. Wishing you — and your son’s new little family — all the best ;)
