Vaccinations Walk-In Clinic Questions and Answers

Vaccinations are available by appointment or walk-in basis.

A vaccine is a biological substance that is designed to protect humans from infections that are cause by bacteria and viruses. Vaccines are also called immunizations. They take advantage of our immune system and have the ability to prevent infectious illness. They can be injected, which is the most common method, or they can be taken orally through the mouth, or intranasally through the nose. Vaccines have been around for a long time, and many, from infancy to adulthood, can be vaccinated. Vaccines are a success story in their own right as they save millions of lives a year. They help reduce the risk of getting a disease by working with your body’s natural defenses to build protection.

Vaccines are accessible and you get them at your private doctor, community health clinic, health department, pharmacy, travel clinic, and at a number of community locations, like schools.

Why should I get myself and my family vaccinated?

Here in the U.S. vaccines have helped greatly reduce or eliminate many infectious diseases that once harmed or killed infants, children, and adults. But then viruses and bacteria that cause these diseases still exist and you can still get these diseases if you are not vaccinated. When you get vaccinated, you are protecting yourself and loved ones from disease. So, ensure that you and your family are vaccinated: it could help save your lives and others lives. Vaccines can help lower your chances of getting certain diseases, and they work with your body’s natural defenses to help you safely develop immunity to disease and suffering from their complications.
