Vaccinations & Immunizations Are Important to Your Health
When it comes to disease prevention, immunizations are key. Getting vaccinated protects you and those around you. Our primary focus is to help you and your loved ones stay up to date on the recommended vaccines. We offer a variety of immunizations. Some of the vaccinations we offer are listed below:
-
Flu
-
Pneumococcal
-
Shingles
Flu Season
In the United States, flu season usually occurs during the fall and winter months. Although Influenza, the virus that causes the flu, is year-round, flu infections peak between November and February. The best method to prevent the flu is by getting a flu vaccine. Annual flu vaccinations are recommended since research shows the virus constantly changes, and different strains cause an increase in flu cases each season.
People at high risk for the flu include:
-
Elderly
-
Pregnant women
-
Young children
-
People with certain heart conditions
Flu symptoms may seem like COVID-19 symptoms, and if you’re unsure, it is best to schedule a COVID-19 test.

Pneumococcal Vaccine
The pneumococcal vaccine can prevent serious pneumonia infections that can potentially become fatal. CDC recommends that the pneumococcal vaccine be administered to all adults aged 65 or older who have not previously received any pneumococcal vaccinations. Without this vital vaccine, those infected with the pneumococcal bacteria can become sick with pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis (infection in the blood).
Ensure you and your family are protected against this preventable illness by setting up an appointment for a pneumococcal vaccine today.
Shingles Vaccine
Shingles are caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox and Varicella-Zoster. Although chickenpox goes away, the virus may remain in your body in an inactive state. Later in life, the same virus can cause a more unpleasant shingles infection. The risk of shingles increases in adults aged 50 and older.
Shingles Symptoms include:
-
Painful rash
-
Pain in skin
-
Nerves oversensitivity (feeling of pins and needles)
Adults 50 and older who qualify for the vaccine can talk to one of our Snell’s Pharmacy Shop pharmacists today about getting vaccinated to prevent this painful condition.
Our highly qualified staff can easily administer these immunizations here at the pharmacy. Call us at 208-232-0049 to speak to a staff member today about the immunizations we offer.
