At Health + Glow, we currently offer the following vaccine options:
The TDAP vaccine can prevent tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. Diphtheria and pertussis spread from person to person while tetanus enters the body through cuts or scrapes. Adults need to get a TD (tetanus and diphtheria) booster shot every 10 years to maintain full immunity.
The shingles vaccine is a nonliving vaccine made of a virus component. The vaccine is given in two doses with 2-6 months between doses. The CDC recommends that adults age 50 or older should get vaccinated against shingles whether they’ve had shingles or not. Although the shingles vaccine may not prevent you from getting shingles, it may reduce the severity and duration of the virus.
Influenza (flu) vaccines (“flu shots”) are vaccines that protect against the four influenza viruses that research indicates may be most common during the upcoming season. Most flu vaccines are administered with a needle but there is also a nasal spray flu vaccine. The flu shot is normally effective for 3-6 months. Because the flu is so contagious, health organizations like the CDC recommend that you get a flu shot annually at the start of flu season.
