Got shot?

Adults are 100 times more likely than children to die of diseases that vaccines can prevent. Each year in the U.S., vaccine-preventable diseases claim the lives of 500 children and approximately 50,000 adults. Vaccines are made with a form of the virus or bacteria that cannot make us sick, but they allow our immune systems to develop memory cells and subsequently protect our bodies.

Vaccines available at our office include: Influenza, Pneumococcal, Shingles, Tetanus with whooping cough, Hepatitis A and B
