Standard and travel vaccinations in Germantown, MD and Montgomery County

Why Do You Need Vaccinations?

Vaccinations help keep you healthy by protecting you against potentially life-threatening viruses. All of the standard vaccinations you will need are available at your Germantown, MD primary care clinic, as well as travel vaccinations, tests, allergy shots, and many other health services.

Types of Vaccinations

Standard vaccinations include the flu vaccine, which is given every year since the strain changes annually. They also include measles, rubella, mumps, typhoid, varicella, diphtheria, pertussis, Gardasil, also called HPV, and hepatitis A and B. Some of these shots are only administered once in a lifetime, with booster shots every ten years, while others, like HPV, are given as a series of three shots space out over the course of several months. Non-standard vaccinations include those for yellow fever, which is recommended before travel to Africa or South America.

Physicals

Immunizations are a part of all standard physicals. The annual, sports, pre-college, DoT, and immigration physical are offered at your local primary care clinic. When visiting the clinic for your first time, it is best to bring a copied record of your previous vaccinations, so staff members know what you may be missing.
