Stay Protected with Vaccinations
Vaccinations play a critical role in keeping you and your family healthy by preventing serious diseases. At Express Family Care in Roanoke, Virginia, we offer convenient access to essential vaccines, including the flu vaccine and Tetanus (Td and TDaP) vaccines, helping you stay protected year-round.
Why Are Vaccinations Important?
Vaccinations are one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of contagious diseases. By receiving the appropriate vaccines, you not only protect yourself but also help protect your community by reducing the chances of outbreaks. Vaccines are a simple, safe, and effective tool to maintain public health and prevent serious illness.
Flu Vaccinations
Flu season occurs annually, typically peaking between fall and winter. The flu vaccine is your best defense against seasonal influenza, a virus that can cause fever, body aches, cough, and severe complications, especially in young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.
At Express Family Care, we offer flu vaccinations starting in October each year. It’s recommended that everyone over six months of age get a flu shot annually to ensure they are protected against the most common strains of the virus.
Tetanus (Td and TDaP) Vaccinations
Tetanus, caused by bacteria commonly found in soil and dust, can enter the body through cuts or wounds and lead to serious health complications. The Tetanus vaccine is often combined with other vaccines to offer additional protection.
- Td (Tetanus and Diphtheria): This vaccine provides protection against Tetanus and Diphtheria. It is recommended as a booster shot every 10 years.
- TDaP (Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis): In addition to Tetanus and Diphtheria, this vaccine protects against Pertussis (whooping cough), a highly contagious respiratory disease. It’s particularly important for those who are around young children and infants, who are most vulnerable to Pertussis.
