Hepatitis A vaccine

Hepatitis A is a highly contagious liver infection caused by a virus that spreads through contaminated food, water, or close contact with an infected person.

Symptoms of Hepatitis A

• Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)
• Stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting
• Fatigue, fever, and joint pain

Who Should Get Vaccinated?

• Children and adolescents
• At-risk individuals including international travelers and injection drug users
• People with liver disease or HIV (at risk for severe complications from hepatitis A)

The hepatitis A vaccine is given in two doses, six months apart. Schedule your first dose today to stay protected.

Hepatitis B vaccine

Hepatitis B is a serious viral infection that affects the liver and can lead to chronic disease, liver damage, and even cancer. It spreads through contact with infected blood and bodily fluids.

Symptoms of Hepatitis B

• Fever, fatigue, and nausea
• Jaundice (yellow skin and eyes)
• Joint pain and stomach discomfort

Who Should Get Vaccinated?

• Infants, children, and unvaccinated adults
• Healthcare workers and individuals at higher risk
• People at risk for hepatitis B through sexual activity
• People with liver disease or HIV

The hepatitis B vaccine is given in a series of doses. Our providers will ensure you receive the correct immunization schedule.

Human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV 9)

HPV is a common virus that can lead to various cancers, including throat, cervical, and anal. Vaccination effectively prevents HPV-related health issues. It spreads through oral, vaginal, and anal sex, with nearly everyone likely to be exposed.

Who Should Get Vaccinated?

• Children aged 11–12 (recommended for best protection)
• Teens and young adults up to age 26 if not previously vaccinated

The HPV vaccine is most effective before virus exposure and is administered in two doses six months to a year apart. If your child is unvaccinated before age 15, three doses are needed over six months.

Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine

The MMR vaccine protects against three serious viral infections that spread through coughing, sneezing, and close contact.

Who Should Get Vaccinated?

• Children at 12 months and again at 4–6 years old
• College students without immunization records need two vaccine doses, at least 28 days apart.
• Adults lacking immunization proof should receive one dose of the MMR vaccine. Higher-risk adults, like international travelers and healthcare workers, may require two doses.

Measles, mumps, and rubella can lead to severe complications, including brain infections and birth defects. Protect yourself and your family with the MMR vaccine.

Meningitis (meningococcal) vaccines

Meningitis is a bacterial infection that causes inflammation in the brain and spinal cord. It spreads between people through saliva, such as when coughing or spitting.

Two vaccines are available: MenACWY for routine prevention and MenB for specific high-risk groups.

Who Should Get Vaccinated?

• Children 2 months to 10 years should receive the MenACWY vaccine if they have specific health conditions or are in a meningitis-prone environment.
• Preteens aged 11 to 12 need the MenACWY vaccine and a booster at 16. They may also receive a MenB vaccine between 16 and 18 years old.
• Adults should get one or both meningitis vaccines if they have specific health issues or are at higher risk from work or travel.

UHealth Clinic at Walgreens offers expert immunization services and answers all questions about meningitis vaccines, helping identify the best options for you.

Pneumonia (pneumococcal) vaccine

Pneumonia is a lung infection caused by bacteria that can lead to severe illness, particularly in young children, seniors, and individuals with weakened immune systems. It spreads through close contact and can cause ear infections as well as more severe issues like pneumonia and blood infections.

Who Should Get Vaccinated?

• Children under 2 years old
• Adults 65 and older
• Individuals with chronic health conditions

There are different types of pneumonia vaccines, and our providers will recommend the right one based on your medical history.

Shingles/Shingrix vaccine

About 1 in 3 Americans will get shingles, with the risk increasing with age. Shingles is a painful rash from the same virus as chickenpox. After chickenpox, the virus can reactivate many years later as shingles. The rash forms blisters that crust in about a week and usually clears within a few weeks.

Shingles typically affects one side of the torso but can also appear around one eye or on one side of the face or neck. After the rash disappears, some may experience long-lasting nerve pain called postherpetic neuralgia, and in some cases, eye damage that may lead to vision problems.

Who Should Get Vaccinated?

• Adults 50 and older
• People with weakened immune systems

The Shingrix vaccine is highly effective at preventing shingles and its complications. It is given in two doses, two to six months apart.

Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) vaccine

The Tdap vaccine protects against three serious bacterial infections:

• Tetanus (Lockjaw): Impacts the nervous system and muscles. It’s life-threatening, causing muscle stiffness and spasms that hinder swallowing and breathing.
• Diphtheria: Leads to breathing problems and heart failure.
• Pertussis (Whooping Cough): Causes severe, uncontrollable coughing and is especially dangerous for infants.

Diphtheria and pertussis spread through the air via coughing or sneezing, while tetanus occurs when bacteria enter an open wound.

Who Should Get Vaccinated?

• Children at age 11–12
• Women during each pregnancy
• Adults who have never received a Tdap vaccine

All adults need a booster shot every 10 years – or earlier if you have a wound that puts you at risk for tetanus. Getting vaccinated ensures long-term protection against these life-threatening diseases.
