The workers were nice and professional. The wait was short. The only problem I had is because it is very far from where I live. I wish there was one that was closer.

What does a hepatitis B vaccine prevent?
The hepatitis B vaccine prevents your child from contracting and spreading a potentially serious disease. This is a contagious liver disease, which can range from a very mild illness with few to almost no symptoms to an extremely serious condition that requires hospitalization. This virus can live on an object for seven or more days. While some people are able to fight the infection, others find that the condition becomes chronic or lifelong. This infection can develop into liver cancer or other health conditions.What does a DTaP vaccine prevent?
The DTaP vaccine prevents against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis which are serious and potentially deadly diseases caused by bacteria, spread either by contact with other people or through obtaining a cut or a wound. Diphtheria can cause a thick covering in the back of the throat, resulting in lifelong breathing problems, possible heart failure, paralysis, and in extreme cases, death. Tetanus, a.k.a. lockjaw, results in painful involuntary muscle tightening all over the body. In extreme cases, death can result from the "locking" of the jaw, making it impossible to eat. Pertussis, a.k.a. whooping cough, causes intense coughing spells, causing difficulty in eating, drinking, and even breathing, lasting for weeks.
What does the polio/IPV/OPV vaccine prevent?
As the name indicates, the polio/IPV/OPV vaccine prevents the spread and infection of polio. Polio is a highly contagious virus that can be deadly and result in a lifelong paralysis. It's spread through contact with an infected person, through coughing or sneezing or even contact with stool. A person who is infected may spread the virus immediately before and one to two weeks after developing symptoms. While the US has been polio-free for over 30 years, the disease can still be transferred from other countries.
What does the hepatitis A vaccine prevent?
This vaccine prevents hepatitis A, a serious, sometimes fatal, liver disease. Children with the virus often do not show symptoms, but they can pass the disease to others, especially their unvaccinated caregivers. Symptoms from this virus typically appear two to six weeks after a person contracts the virus, and they can include fever, stomach pain, vomiting, dark urine, yellowed skin and eyes, loss of appetite, or fever.
What does the MMR vaccine prevent?
The MMR vaccine prevents measles, mumps, and rubella, all highly contagious and potentially deadly diseases. Measles is a serious disease that affects the lungs and respiratory system. It can cause rashes, fevers, and in some rare cases, death. It can potentially lead to ongoing health issues like pneumonia, permanent brain damage, and deafness. Mumps is a contagious viral disease that can cause lasting health issues including meningitis, deafness, encephalitis, orchitis, oophoritis, mastitis, and in the most extreme cases, death. Rubella, or German measles, is a viral disease that usually causes a fever and a rash. In some rare cases, it can cause serious problems, including brain infections and bleeding problems.
What does a varicella vaccine prevent?
A varicella vaccine prevents chickenpox, a serious and even deadly disease. Chickenpox is a disease that causes an all-over itchy rash of blisters in addition to fever. This can be deadly to those with weakened immune systems. This disease is spread with relative ease, both airborne and from physical contact from the blisters.
What does an MCV4 vaccine prevent?
The MCV4 vaccine prevents against the bacteria that causes the meningococcal disease, which has been proven to cause infections like meningitis and other bloodstream infections. People that contract any of these diseases have a 10-15% chance of dying from it. These diseases can be spread from person to person, most commonly through saliva, usually through coughing or kissing, especially when living in close proximity.
What does a Tdap vaccine prevent?
The Tdap vaccine prevents tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis, but this one is manufactured more specifically to adolescents, starting at age 11 and adults ages 19-64.
