Immunizations and injections

Does your child need vaccinations updated before starting the school year or going to camp? The immunization-trained nurse practitioners and physician assistants at our clinic inside CVS Pharmacy® can help. We immunize children at least 18 months old, adolescents and adults for many common childhood diseases. Some vaccines require multiple doses. If you have the documentation indicating the initial shot was provided elsewhere, we can provide the follow-up dose.

• DTaP
• Pneumonia
• MMR
• Td
• Flu
• IPV
• Meningitis
• Hepatitis A & B

The vaccination effectiveness fades over time. Stop by our clinic and ask about Titers and immunity testing if it has been more than 20 years since you were immunized. We can conduct a test to confirm you are still protected by the original dose. If you are not, we can update your vaccination.

Unlike many viruses and disease, the flu mutates every year. The vaccine you received last year may not be effective this season. Bring your family to our clinic and get flu shots for everyone in one trip. It takes approximately two weeks for the vaccine to be fully active. If you are exposed to the flu in that time and contract the virus, you may find the recovery time is faster and symptoms are milder than usual.

Prepare for international travel

About the Flu (Influenza)

Influenza is an infectious respiratory disease. Generally, the flu may resolve on its own. However, if the flu goes untreated, you may be at risk for complications that can be life-threatening. Those that might be at a higher risk of severe flu complications include children under 5, adults over 65, pregnant women, and people with chronic illnesses or compromised immune systems. If you fall into any of these categories, it is essential that you take strides towards flu prevention by getting your flu shot at MinuteClinic. The flu shot works by exposing you to an inactive flu virus and the flu vaccines cause antibodies to develop in the body after vaccination. These antibodies will help to protect you if you are exposed to the flu virus. Essentially, getting a flu shot prepares your body to fight the flu.

Why Get A Flu Shot?

Getting vaccinated helps to protect you and the people around you. Influenza sends a countless number of patients into hospitals each year – don’t be one of them. There are two types of flu shots – a seasonal vaccine for adults and children (preservative-free available, upon request) and a high dose vaccine (for ages 65+). While you can take preventative measures, getting immunized with the influenza vaccine is your best defense against the flu. Each year, new strains of the flu develop. While you may have gotten a flu shot in the past, you may not be protected from the new strands. Although flu vaccines may not be 100% effective, it is still the best defense against the virus. Don’t fall victim to the flu this year – stop by MinuteClinic and get your flu shot today!
