Depending on your age and medical conditions and vaccination history, you may need one or more vaccinations. At Silverton, we can administer recommended vaccinations, bill your insurance company, and answer all of your immunization questions.

Immunizations

Available Vaccines

  • Hepatitis A Vaccine- Hepatitis A is most commonly transmitted via contaminated food or drinking water. It is also one of the most vaccine-preventable diseases. The CDC recommends the Hepatitis A series to anyone visiting an endemic area with intermediate to high risk of infection.
  • Hepatitis B Vaccine- Transmission of the Hepatitis B virus results from exposure to infected blood or body fluids containing blood. A Hepatitis B series is your best level of prevention before your trip.
  • Influenza Vaccine (No prescription necessary) - Influenza is a viral infection that attacks your respiratory system - your nose, throat and lungs. The flu is seasonal and a yearly vaccination is highly recommended.
  • Pneumococcal Vaccine- Pneumonia is caused by a bacterial infection that can be spread by respiratory droplets. The infection can cause fever, cough, chest pain and difficulty breathing. Vaccination is recommended for all adults over 65 years of age and those with chronic medical conditions or weakened immune systems.
  • Shingles (Zoster) Vaccine Live- It is different than the chickenpox vaccine. Older adults who receive the herpes zoster vaccine are less likely to have complications from shingles.
