Circle Urgent Care offers multiple vaccinations and immunizations when you need them. You may have a physical that requires a booster vaccine or your yearly flu shot to keep you healthy during the flu season. There are many reasons why vaccinations are the best way to stay healthy and safe from many deadly diseases. If you have any questions about an injection, or what immunizations are best for you, our staff is here to inform you and ensure you have the proper information.
Preventative medicine focuses on promoting health and preventing disease by utilizing lifestyle interventions such as nutrition, vaccines, stress reduction, and rest.
How can vaccinations help protect me?
The diseases that vaccines prevent can be dangerous, or even deadly. Vaccines reduce the risk of infection by working with the body’s natural defenses to help it safely develop immunity to disease.
When germs, such as bacteria or viruses, invade the body, they attack and multiply. This invasion is called an infection, and the infection is what causes illness. The immune system then has to fight the infection. Once it fights off the infection, the body is left with a supply of cells that help recognize and fight that disease in the future.
Vaccines help develop immunity by imitating an infection, but this “imitation” infection does not cause illness. It does, however, cause the immune system to develop the same response as it does to a real infection so the body can recognize and fight the vaccine-preventable disease in the future. Sometimes, after getting a vaccine, the imitation infection can cause minor symptoms, such as fever. Such minor symptoms are normal and should be expected as the body builds immunity
