Immunizations and Flu Shots

Receiving vaccinations, also known as immunizations, is an easy way to protect you and your family from many serious, sometimes fatal illnesses. If you do receive immunizations and still contract a disease, symptoms are less severe. Failure to get the recommended immunizations can result in serious illness, chronic conditions and even death from diseases such as hepatitis B, meningitis, tetanus and measles.

Immunizations should start at birth and continue throughout the course of a patient's life. Our staff can answer any questions or concerns you may have about these immunizations.

Many adults incorrectly assume their needs for immunization ends when they reach adulthood. There are several specific vaccines you need as an adult! Your needs will be determined by factors including your lifestyle, age, gender, overall health, previous immunizations, type and locations of travel and more. Did you know that tetanus and diphtheria shots should be given once every ten years? When was the last time you made an appointment with your doctor for these vaccines? Make an appointment today.

Call AbsoluteCare for information about special immunizations if you are in close contact with people who have an infectious disease, you are planning on international travel or you live with a person who has a compromised immune system.
