Vaccinations

Published

I have 2 weeks until the application deadline for the LVN program I am trying to apply to. I am 30 years old (ah) and I'm having the hardest time finding a place where I can get all the vaccinations. Places I find are only for infants and adolescents. Any ideas, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Look at CVS/Walgreens, grocery store pharmacies, Walmart. Most big retail pharmacies that provide vaccines will also give them to adults.

I'm also 30 and had to have a few vaccinations for my program. I would definitely try Walgreens I had my TB skin test done there and they accepted my insurance so I didn't have to pay out of pocket. CVS is another good option but you will most likely have to pay out of pocket with them. Or try your local health department they're generally very affordable.

Hugs & best wishes to all you midwest/central states folk. Shame they can't figure out how to share the fluid wealth with the West Coast!

I got all of mine at our county's health department.....it was quick, easy, and they billed my insurance so I only paid out of pocket for my TB test and that only cost me $10

Go to your local GP. If you do not have copies of previous immunizations from your childhood, you will need to get Titers taken to determine your immunity.

(MMR, Polio, Heps, etc). I had titer results determine I had immunity for childhood vaccinations, but not Hep A and Hep B.

I had to take these in order to be compliant. These shots are series shots and need time in between before next shots.

It took about 6 weeks to get everything in order.
