Types of Vaccinations We Offer
Whether you’re due for a routine vaccine or trying to stay ahead of seasonal illness, our team can help you understand what you need and when.
We offer vaccines for adults 18 and older, with guidance based on your age, medical history, and risk factors:
Flu & COVID-19 Vaccines
Flu vaccines are typically recommended every year, while COVID-19 vaccine guidance may vary based on your age, health risks, and current recommendations.
Tdap & Tetanus
Most adults need one dose of the Tdap vaccine, especially if they will be around newborns, followed by a Td or Tdap booster every 10 years to maintain protection against tetanus and diphtheria.
Shingles & Pneumonia
Shingles vaccination is generally recommended for adults 50 and older, while pneumonia vaccine timing depends on your age, vaccine history, and certain health conditions.
HPV
HPV vaccination is typically recommended through age 26, and some adults ages 27 to 45 may be eligible based on their medical history and provider guidance.
Travel Vaccines
Depending on your destination, you may need travel vaccines such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, typhoid, yellow fever, meningococcal, rabies, cholera, or Japanese encephalitis.
