Vaccinations are an essential part of primary preventive care. Getting vaccinated not only protects you from getting certain easily transmissible diseases, but it also helps reduce the risk of your loved ones and neighbors from getting sick.

Vaccines are safe and can be given to people of all ages, from newborns to elderly individuals.

Catching transmissible infectious diseases puts you, your family, friends and even coworkers at risk for severe complications or even death. In contrast, vaccines can easily protect you from many diseases usually with minimal side effects. The vaccines offered in our medical center include the common vaccines for adults and children (e.g., the MMR vaccine protects against measles, mumps, and rubella), as well as the Moderna and Janssen COVID-19 vaccines to protect you and your loved ones from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The vaccination schedule is determined by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and is created with the average time between vaccinations in mind. Waiting longer or getting vaccinated too close together might result in body not developing enough protection.

Your vaccines work by triggering your immune system to make antibodies that can fight against diseases like measles, mumps, rubella, etc.

Vaccines are proven to be safe and effective. Parents should vaccinate their children according to the CDC vaccination schedule; these vaccines protect them throughout childhood and into adulthood.

The vaccines available at our medical center are highly recommended for all individuals unless they have a medical or religious reason not to do so. You should get vaccines even if you received some as a child because immunity decreases with time. There are vaccines available for people of all ages including vaccines for seniors which helps prevent pneumonia, influenza (flu), shingles, hepatitis B virus (HBV), and more.
