Still have questions?

Contact your primary
care provider.

Regular visits with your primary care provider allow you to keep up with the screenings that are recommended for your age and gender.
A preventative care visit gives you the opportunity to speak with a medical provider about the immunizations that are recommended for you.
Immunizations can help protect you from preventable diseases such as influenza, shingles, pneumonia, COVID-19, and human papillomavirus (HPV).
Some of terrible diseases have been greatly reduced or eliminated by immunizations - polio, rubella, measles, mumps, diphtheria, etc.
Side effects from immunizations are generally mild, and only last a day or two - swelling and tenderness at the injection site, slight fever, etc.
