Vaccinations
Did you know that vaccines are the best way to protect yourself from many preventable diseases? Vaccines help your body create protective antibodies that fight off infections. You can protect yourself and also avoid spreading preventable diseases to other people in your family and community.
The vaccines you receive are safe. Safety data is carefully reviewed before vaccines receive approval, and safety is continually monitored.

Vaccines can have side effects, but most people experience only mild side effects—if any. The most common side effects are fever, tiredness, body aches, redness, swelling, and tenderness where the shot was given. Mild reactions usually go away on their own within a few days.
Vaccines may be required at work, school, for travel or more activities.
You can protect yourself and the people you love by staying up to date on recommended vaccinations. If you aren’t sure which vaccines you and your children need, we’re here to help!
