At MedPoint Urgent Care Center, we understand the importance of preventative care, especially when it comes to vaccinations. That’s why we offer a range of vaccines to help keep you and your family healthy.
Get your family ready for flu season by receiving your annual flu shot at our clinic. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is recommended that everyone receives a flu shot each year, especially pregnant women, adults over 65, and those with a higher risk of developing complications such as pneumonia.
The hepatitis B vaccine is administered in three doses. We can start the series for kids aged six months and up, as well as for young adults under 19. Unvaccinated adults with specific risk factors, such as a history of sexually transmitted diseases, travel to high-risk areas, or employment in correctional facilities, should also get the vaccine.
At MedPoint Urgent Care Center, we offer tetanus shots for babies and children on a regular schedule, as recommended by the CDC. Children as young as six months old, as well as adults, can receive tetanus shots at our clinic. The CDC also suggests that adults receive a tetanus booster every 10 years, as the vaccine’s protection does not last a lifetime. If it has been 10 years or more since your last tetanus vaccine, we can administer the immunization quickly and effectively.
If a child lives with a person who has tuberculosis and is unable to take antibiotics or has a strain of the disease that is highly resistant to antibiotics, it is recommended that the child receive the TB vaccine. Our clinic offers this immunization, which can be administered to infants as young as six months old. It’s a simple way to protect children from contracting tuberculosis in high-risk situations.
