Immunizations Available:
Flu
Flu shots are recommended annually for all patients aged 6 months and older. We focus on adult immunizations therefore encourage children to schedule regular well-child appointments with their provider to ensure children have access to the full course of childhood immunizations.
Pneumonia
Pneumonia vaccines are recommended for all adults age 65+ and certain adults ages 18-64 with chronic conditions (such as asthma, COPD, anemia, diabetes, heart disease, liver disease and kidney disease). Our pharmacists will help determine which pneumonia vaccines you may need.
Shingles
Individuals who have had Chickenpox (Varicella Zoster) in their lifetime are highly susceptible to shingles. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends the shingles vaccine to anyone over the age of 50.
Tetanus
Most people receive their five recommended tetanus vaccinations in childhood. However, many people do not know that booster vaccinations are recommended every 10 years to maintain immunity. Also of particular importance, is the tetanus with pertussis vaccination (Tdap) for pregnant women and those who will come in contact with the newborn child to help prevent whooping cough (pertussis).
