Reviews
"Love being able to schedule appt online. Plenty of parking. Fully staffed front desk. Nice, clean, open reception area - no blaring tv, but comfortable seating & very nice art. Health care staff are terrific - respectful, pleasant & I barely felt the poke. Very efficient."
"This is the only place currently doing updated bivalent COVID vaccines for 0.5 to 5 year old in the Des Moines area. None of the pharmacies or hospitals are doing it, which almost created a problem for my baby’s 4-8 weeks window for the second shot. Booking was super easy through the website listed and getting the shot was even easier. Checked in a little before the scheduled time, waited like 5 minutes, and took another 2 minutes to get the shot. The experience was better than the adult COVID shots at a pharmacy. Extremely grateful that Polk County Health Department is carrying out the mission of providing public health to the community when the healthcare system is failing. The facility is extremely easy to access from the freeway, but the building is easy to miss given how plain it looks on the outside. The waiting area is large and well ventilated. Plenty of parking in the parking lot."
"I’m surprised at how much they don’t care about patient privacy. Both ladies at check in are very loud, asking people to state 1st and last names, and talking about their health concerns. Other than that, facility is located at a not too busy location."
"Been a struggle trying to schedule vaccinations with them. Cannot make appointments for immunizations over the phone. They have slots for vaccines on the immunizepolk website but I have yet been able to successfully sign up for anything. Would much rather go to a pharmacy or a private clinic but they are the only organization with the vaccine I'm trying to get."
"I received my first drive-thru COVID vaccination at the Carpenter location near Drake University on Saturday. The process and staff there were amazing, friendly, and quick. There was no line like I've seen on TV about other vaccination stations. It took longer for me to drive across town than it did to get the shot and be on my way! The service is amazing and I highly recommend making an appointment with Polk County Health Department. Thank you so much!"
