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.
What are the Benefits of Adult Vaccines?
Adult vaccines offer crucial protection against various infectious diseases, reducing the risk of illness, hospitalization, and even death. By bolstering immunity, they contribute to overall public health and help prevent the spread of contagious diseases within communities while also protecting the patient as a individual. Some of the primary benefits of adult vaccines include:
- Help prevent serious illnesses
- Reduce the risk of hospitalization
- Help protect vulnerable populations
- Help prevent outbreaks and epidemics
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
Everyone was kind, compassionate, and professional. I did not have to wait for assistance, and everyone acknowleged me. Dr. Hart, Jessica, and Darda are amazing people, and I thank the Lord for them!
I had three visits already with the first on 6-30-2023 with Dr. Hart. She and her staff were very pleasant and well organized. Dr. Hart was very knowledgeable and willing to answer all my questions, concerns, and medications, despite my having a very rare, orphan disease. Dr. Hart was willing to make the effort to solidly communicate with me, as a patient. So, I felt a great relief in finding my new replacement PCP physician, that was as professional, as my specialists. She was also able to refer me to another specialist, in order to deal with one of my other concerns. So Dr. Hart and her friendly staff get a big FIVE THUMBS UP from me.
I don’t know what this yelp thing is all about, but I do know now about Dr. Hart of IHM Family Health Center. She definitely gets FIVE THUMBS UP from me for her medical knowledge, care, and the willingness to communicate with a patient and answer my questions, concerns, and medications. I have a very rare orphan disease, that involves having many Medical Specialists.I have had three appointments with Dr. Hart so far, since my first June 30, 2023 appointment with her. I am so please to have Dr. Hart as my replacement PCP doctor. She knows how to communicate with her patients, answer my questions, and carry on an exchange about the over 5000 MGs of meds, that I am required to take daily to stay in REMISSION. So if you need a good doctor, WHO LISTENS, go try her out.
Dr Armstrong is an outstanding physician—knowledge and care for his patients. His staff are great to work with. The reflect the joy of the Lord. Glad the are my primary care.
Very personal and informative. Not time pressed. Details for directions to be followed.
