Immunizations We Offer

We provide government-approved life-saving vaccines to help protect you from preventable diseases. Our pharmacists administer these vaccines quickly and comfortably, ensuring a safe and stress-free experience.

  • Shingles (Herpes Zoster) Vaccine:
    If you’ve had chickenpox, you’re at risk for shingles which is a painful rash that can lead to long-term nerve pain. The Shingrix vaccine is highly effective in preventing shingles and its complications, especially for adults 50 and older.
  • Pneumonia Vaccines (Pneumococcal Disease):
    Pneumonia can be life-threatening, especially for seniors, smokers, and those with weakened immune systems. We offer both Pneumovax 23 and Prevnar 20 to provide the best protection.
  • Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis):
    This vaccine is essential for all adults and is recommended every 10 years to protect against tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough (pertussis). It’s especially important for pregnant women and those in contact with infants.
  • Hepatitis A & B Vaccines:
    Hepatitis A and B are serious liver infections that can be prevented with vaccination. The Hepatitis B vaccine is particularly recommended for healthcare workers, travelers, and individuals with certain medical conditions.
