Immunizations are not just for
kids! Adults need vaccinations for diseases like hepatitis B,
shingles, tetanus, chickenpox, influenza and pneumococcal disease. Adults
over the age of 50 and other adults in high risk groups need specific
immunizations every year. Protecting your health is a life-long
responsibility; getting the vaccinations you need as an adult
will help keep you healthy. Talk with your physician or immunization
nurse at your local health department to determine what vaccinations
you may need. Stay healthy and active!
The North Carolina Immunization
Branch and The Carolinas Center for Medical Excellence team up
each year to bring you the North
Carolina Flu Clinic Finder. This database contains a listing
of many of the flu clinics being offered across North Carolina.
All you have to do is enter your zip code and click 'submit';
it will provide a list of clinics within 50 miles of your home.
It is activated every year beginning in October.
For more information regarding
adult immunizations, please contact
or email the Immunization
Branch.
