Immunizations are an important part of maintaining good health, especially as you age. Here at Natesan Medical Group, we recommend a few vaccinations across the lifespan. We even offer some of these vaccinations here at our office!

In our office we offer influenza, pneumonia, and tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis vaccinations. You do not need an appointment to get a vaccination and can come in any time during normal business hours for any of these vaccinations.

Influenza vaccinations are recommended once a year, typically from September through October. Our office sends out notices every year when influenza vaccination becomes available.

Pneumonia vaccinations are recommended once for all adults over the age of 50, and for those over 18 years of age in certain at-risk populations.

The tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis, or TDAP, vaccination booster is recommended for all adults every 10 years, or every 5 years if an injury involving potential contaminants occurs.

Outside of the vaccinations our office offers, a few others are recommended for healthy adults who have undergone routine childhood vaccinations:

• COVID-19 vaccinations are recommended yearly
• RSV vaccination is recommended once
• Shingles vaccination is recommended once with a booster

As always, special circumstances exist, and it is always recommended to discuss vaccinations with your individual healthcare provider.
