Immunizations are the best way to dramatically reduce your risk of getting a variety of serious illnesses. At QuestCare Urgent Care, we provide many common immunizations, including:

• Flu shot
• FluMist High dose flu shot designed specifically for people 65 years and older
• Tetanus (Td)
• Tdap- Tetanus immunization also containing protection against pertussis (whooping cough). Adolescents and adults 11-64 should receive a single dose of Tdap.

How do immunizations prevent disease?

Vaccinations use the body’s own immune system to prevent occurrences of serious diseases. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), vaccines contain the same antigens or parts of antigens that cause diseases, but the antigens in vaccines are either killed or greatly weakened. When they are injected into the muscle, vaccine antigens are not strong enough to produce the symptoms and signs of the disease but are strong enough for the immune system to produce antibodies against them.
