Contact UsWhat Are Adult Vaccines?
While vaccinations are commonly linked to preventing illness in babies and children, it's imperative for adults of all ages to stay current on their vaccinations as well. Certain types of vaccinations may be recommended depending on your age, health history, and risk factors. Dr. Charles Armstrong and Dr. Margaret Hart offer vaccines recommended by the Center for Disease Control (CDC), such as pneumonia, shingles, flu, and COVID, for individuals in Chandler, AZ who are 18 years or older. If you would like to strengthen your immune system and get a vaccination, contact Immaculate Heart of Mary Family Health Center to schedule an appointment.
How Do Adult Vaccines Work?
Vaccines work by introducing a small amount of bacteria into the body to trigger a response from the immune system, which allows antibodies to be formed. These antibodies destroy the foreign bacteria, thereby protecting you from disease. Dr. Hart and Dr. Armstrong can help you decide which vaccinations you need as they may vary from person to person, depending on age and a number of other factors. Some of the most common adult vaccines we provide include:
- COVID-19
- Influenza (flu)
- Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis
- HPV (human papillomavirus)
- Shingles
- Hepatitis B
- Pneumococcal conjugate
Immaculate Heart of Mary Family Health Center Reviews
A friendly, effective, and efficient visit. Highly recommend.
Being Autistic, this is my first experience on my own with a Doctor's Office from Finding to Appointment. I can say, without a doubt that I really like the staff, they explained when I asked and I truly look forward to returning. I even enjoyed all my staff interactions. Especially when my veins were difficult to locate, the staff member trying was extra attentive to my request to not fish and did a fantastic job, like the rest of the staff I encountered. I look forward to my next visit and believe this is where my care is best done.
He made sure to give me a Blood Lab . Good Doctor
Dr. Armstrong was very kind and had great communication skills He was extremely cautious and thoughtful of his plan I would 100% recommend him I seriously hate reviewing anything but he deserves a shout out
Great experience! I plan to make Dr. Armstrong my new primary care physician.
