Vaccinations Available: Protect Your Health with Bethel Pharmacy
August 27, 2024
At Bethel Pharmacy, we’re committed to helping you stay healthy and protected throughout the year. One of the most effective ways to safeguard your health is through vaccinations. We offer a range of vaccines right here at our pharmacy, making it easy and convenient for you to get the protection you need. Here’s a look at the vaccinations available and why they are important.
1. Flu Vaccine
Why It’s Important: The flu vaccine is essential for protecting against seasonal influenza, which can lead to serious complications, especially in young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Who Should Get It: Everyone aged 6 months and older should receive the flu vaccine annually. It’s particularly important for pregnant women, the elderly, and people with chronic health conditions.
When to Get It: The best time to get vaccinated is before flu season begins, ideally in early fall. However, it’s beneficial to get vaccinated anytime during the flu season.
2. RSV Vaccine
Why It’s Important: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common virus that can cause severe respiratory illness, particularly in infants, young children, and older adults.
Who Should Get It: The RSV vaccine is recommended for high-risk groups, including infants, young children, and older adults with chronic health conditions.
When to Get It: RSV vaccination is typically administered before the onset of RSV season. Consult with our pharmacy team to determine the best timing for your vaccination.
3. Pneumonia Vaccine
Why It’s Important: The pneumonia vaccine protects against pneumococcal disease, which can lead to pneumonia, meningitis, and bloodstream infections. Pneumonia can be especially dangerous for older adults and people with certain medical conditions.
Who Should Get It: It is recommended for all adults aged 65 and older, as well as younger adults with chronic illnesses or weakened immune systems.
When to Get It: The pneumonia vaccine is typically administered once in adulthood, but a booster may be required for certain individuals. Our pharmacy staff can help determine the appropriate schedule for you.
4. Shingrix Vaccine
Why It’s Important: Shingrix protects against shingles, a painful rash caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus. Shingles can lead to complications such as postherpetic neuralgia, which causes long-lasting pain.
Who Should Get It: Shingrix is recommended for adults aged 50 and older, even if you’ve had shingles in the past or previously received the older shingles vaccine.
When to Get It: Shingrix is administered in two doses, with the second dose given 2 to 6 months after the first. Speak with our pharmacy team to schedule your doses.
5. Tdap Vaccine
Why It’s Important: The Tdap vaccine protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough). Tetanus and diphtheria are serious bacterial infections, while pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory illness.
Who Should Get It: Tdap is recommended for adolescents and adults. Pregnant women should receive the Tdap vaccine during each pregnancy to protect their newborns from pertussis.
When to Get It: A single dose of Tdap is recommended for adolescents and adults, with booster doses of Td (tetanus and diphtheria) recommended every 10 years.
