Vaccines and Immunizations Q & A

The experienced medical professionals at all 3 of our Express Healthcare LLC can provide a wide range of important immunizations for you and your family. Additionally, if you are unsure whether you have already had a specific vaccine, we can perform blood testing to determine whether your vaccinations are up to date. We provide hepatitis A and Dtap vaccines for children, and vaccines for hepatitis A and B, and Tdap for adults. We also provide pneumococcal, varicella, yellow fever, tuberculin, polio, and MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccinations in our offices.

We understand that there is a lot of conflicting information available regarding the safety of vaccines. At Express Healthcare LLC, we believe in the proven and rigorously tested safety and efficacy of vaccinations. Every vaccine doctors use to protect their patients have undergone extensive trials and testing to ensure they work as designed. The most common side effects of receiving a vaccination is some redness, bruising, or soreness at the site of the injection. If this happens, the effects will typically dissipate within a few hours following the administration of the vaccine injection.

The cost of your immunization will depend on which vaccinations you need and the number of injections you will receive during your visit. Our vaccination prices are listed on our website, and our dedicated and knowledgeable staff can provide you with specific information regarding the vaccinations you might need and what the total cost of your visit might be. We accept many major health insurance plans, which could reduce your total out-of-pocket cost depending on which vaccinations you choose to receive and whether they are deemed medically necessary.

If you are experiencing a low-grade fever or a mild illness, you should still be able to receive a vaccination, even if you are currently taking an antibiotic to address it. You should be open and honest with your healthcare provider about how you are feeling and whether you have any reservations about receiving your vaccine injections, so they can address your concerns and answer any questions you may have. In general, vaccinations are safe to receive as long as you are in relatively good health. Our experienced healthcare providers can help you understand your options and decide what is right for you and your body.
