New Immunization Law in Effect

As of January 1, a new law requires many insurance companies and HMOs to provide immunizations to children under age 6 with no co-payment, deductible or coinsurance requirement. The Texas Department of Insurance estimates that more than 4.8 million Texans have HMO coverage or insurance affected by this new law. For more information, call the Texas Department of Health at 1-800-252-9152.
