To apply for WIC, call us or visit Georgia Gateway.

WIC is the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children. Located in the same building as the health department, the Fayette. County WIC and Nutrition Center stands ready to support low-income families in taking care of their health through the services Georgia WIC offers: nutritious foods, health education, breastfeeding support, and referrals to health care.

This free program is available to pregnant women, new moms, breastfeeding moms, and parents or guardians who are the sole provider of children under age five and meet the income and nutritional requirements. The WIC program also provides participants with individually tailored healthy food vouchers that can be used at thousands of stores through Georgia’s eWIC program, the state’s electronic food system for issuing food benefits.

Travel Health

 

The Fayette County Health Department’s Travel Health Clinic provides consultations on your travel plans to assess your risk and help you minimize accidents, injury and disease during your journey. We use a questionnaire (you can fill it out ahead of time and bring it with you) in our assessment to ensure we understand the purpose of the visit, type of travel planned, traveler health status and more. This will help us determine the need for any vaccinations or special advice before your trip.

We supply and administer all international travel vaccines, with varying fees based on vaccines needed. Please plan to make an appointment at least 4-8 weeks before your journey, as it may take up to a month to complete some vaccine treatments. Learn more about the required and recommended vaccines specific to your travel destination.
