Vaccines are administered to stimulate your immune system so should you come in contact with that disease, your body is better prepared to fight it off.

Vaccinations Save Lives

In today’s world, many of the deadliest diseases can be stopped in their tracks by a preventative childhood vaccination. Shots are a safe way to protect kids from diseases such as polio, the measles, meningitis and more. These vaccinations are important for your child’s health, and now, you don’t have to go through the hassle of booking in with a general practitioner to receive those shots; visit AFC Urgent Care Malden to be promptly treated by a qualified professional at your convenience.
