You can conveniently check off getting vaccinated by visiting AED Urgent Care. They make it easy for the whole family to stay up-to-date on immunizations, and no appointment is necessary.
Vaccinations or immunizations are essential for protecting yourself against various illnesses. They have been highly successful in stopping the spread of contagious diseases and reducing mortality rates worldwide. Vaccines have played a significant role in preventing debilitating and life-threatening conditions. It is particularly important for children aged three and under to receive up-to-date vaccines.
AED Urgent Care offers common immunizations without the need for an appointment. Some of the vaccinations available include:
Vaccines work by training your body’s immune system to recognize and fight specific diseases. When you are exposed to a virus, your body learns to produce antibodies to combat it. However, certain highly contagious viruses can cause severe illness and even be life-threatening. Vaccines provide a safe way to develop immunity without getting sick. They contain a weakened form of a specific disease, which prompts your body to naturally produce antibodies. Some vaccines, like the flu shot, may need to be administered periodically, while others, such as the chickenpox vaccine, can provide lifelong immunity.
Please note that vaccine availability may vary by location, and it is recommended to call ahead to inquire about specific needs or requirements when visiting AED Urgent Care.

Receiving a COVID-19 vaccine is the most effective and safest measure to prevent severe illness. Similar to other vaccines, the COVID-19 vaccine instructs your body on building its own defense against the virus responsible for this disease. Typically, the COVID-19 vaccine consists of two doses, with the second dose administered 14 to 28 days after the initial one. It takes approximately three weeks after the final dose to develop immunity. Access to COVID-19 vaccination is subject to availability and regulations set by your state. Please reach out to us for further information on obtaining a COVID-19 vaccine.
