Influenza and Pneumonia Vaccines
Influenza, or the flu, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness with symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, and vomiting, and at times can lead to death. Some people, such as older people, young children, and those with certain health conditions, are at high risk for serious complications resulting from the flu. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated each year. Vaccination begins each fall and continues through spring. This time period matches the time of the year when influenza becomes most widespread in the U.S.
Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs caused by an infection. Bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites can all cause pneumonia. Pneumonia is of particular concern for those over 65 or with a chronic illness or weakened immune system. However, it can also occur in young, healthy people. Pneumonia can range in seriousness from mild to life-threatening. Pneumonia often is a complication of another condition, such as the flu. Antibiotics can treat most common forms of bacterial pneumonias, but antibiotic-resistant strains are a growing problem. The best defense against pneumonia is simply to be vaccinated.
If interested in receiving an influenza or pneumonia vaccine, call your primary care physician or local pharmacy.

Tuberculosis (TB) Skin Tests
Tuberculosis, or TB, is a common disease caused by infectious bacteria primarily affecting the lungs. TB is spread from person to person by coughing, sneezing, or close personal contact with an infected individual. Exposure to TB can be detected by a simple skin test.
TB skin tests are given by appointment only during our regularly scheduled Immunization Clinics. Test results are provided on Thursday of the same week between 1:30 and 4:00 P.M. You will be given a return time when the test is placed.
