Why do I need vaccinations?
Vaccinations help prevent you or a loved one from getting sick. The vaccines themselves contain small amounts of the virus or bacteria in a form that doesn’t make you sick but helps your body develop antibodies against the disease.
Vaccines have helped reduce the likelihood that you’ll develop an illness that was once very serious, such as mumps, polio, and rubella.
For physicals and vaccinations, Forest Urgent Care can help. Walk in or schedule an appointment by phone or online.
