Whether you’re due for a tetanus booster or preparing for flu season, our team can review your vaccination history and help you understand which vaccine is appropriate for you.
TDAP protects against three different serious infections.
Clostridium tetani is an infection that enters through cuts and open wounds and can lead to respiratory failure. It is commonly in soil and animal waste.
Diphtheria is a bacterium commonly found in the environment, but it spreads from person to person. It forms a membrane in the airway, causing breathing difficulties.
Bordetella Pertussis causes whooping cough and is extremely dangerous in the pediatric population. It also spreads through coughs and sneezes. Babies catch it from family members that do not know they have it.
The American Academy of Pediatrics 2026–2027 continues to find no link to autism or any neurologic condition.
What’s actually in the flu vaccine?
1. The main active (NOT LIVE) ingredient is just 15 micrograms of the virus protein. This is much less THAN A GRAIN OF SALT!
2. Single-dose vaccines are PRESERVATIVE-FREE!
The Flucelvax or “regular” vaccine is reserved for those 6 months and older.
The FLUAD vaccine is reserved for those 65+. The adjuvanted vaccine offers more protection for those who are at higher risk of complications from the influenza virus. It is egg-based, but it is still recommended for those with an egg allergy.
