Vaccinations, or immunizations, are preventive treatments that activate your immune system’s natural ability to ward off infectious diseases. The immune system defends your body against viruses, bacteria, and toxins. By stimulating your immune response, vaccines help prevent the spread of diseases at home and within your community.
Staying up-to-date on your vaccination schedule helps protect you, your family, and your community from communicable diseases. At Neighborhood Urgent Care, our highly trained team provides all standard vaccinations for infants, children, and adults.
Many vaccinations protect you and your family against diseases that currently have no cure, such as polio. Without vaccines, these diseases and viral infections can cause severe complications, such as respiratory problems or loss of muscle function. Vaccines also minimize the spread of disease within communities and around the world, preventing international epidemics. As more people receive immunizations, the virus’ ability to find new hosts diminishes.
