How to Know Which Vaccines You Need
Your vaccine needs depend on your age, health history, travel plans, and whether you've kept up with prior doses. The easiest way to find out what you're due for is to ask at your next appointment — your provider will review your immunization record and make specific recommendations.
You can also bring in your vaccination history from a previous provider and we'll enter it into your chart so we can track what's already been done.
