Ionia County increases fees for vaccines, road permits

The Ionia County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday updated some of the fees charged by the Health Department and the Road Department. The Health Department's immunization administration fee will double, from $10 to $20, starting Oct. 1. Health Officer Haleigh Leslie told commissioners the fee had not been increased for more than 20 years, and that the new $20 fee would still be $3 less than the $23 that both Medicaid and most neighboring local health departments charge.
