Vaccines can grant you stronger protection against certain diseases that can spread from one person to another. Vaccines can prevent serious illnesses, including pneumonia, measles, shingles, COVID-19, RSV, the flu and many more.
Not only do vaccines protect you, they also protect those around you! Vaccines are a vital part of your healthcare and your community’s health too. And with today’s technology, vaccines are safer, more effective and easier to get than ever.
Where can you get vaccinated?
Chances are very good you can get vaccines in your local area. And depending on your insurance, they’re often very affordable—or even free.
Here are some of the nation’s largest pharmacies and retail stores where you can schedule your vaccination appointment:

Make vaccines a priority
Don’t wait to get your vaccines. Many diseases that could be prevented by vaccines are still prevalent, or even on the rise, in the United States. Putting it off just makes you vulnerable to viruses and getting sick. The sooner you can get the right vaccines, the sooner you can protect yourself and everyone around you.
You can use this CDC resource to help find out which vaccines you might be due for based on your age and gender.
Why wait? Schedule your vaccines as soon as possible with the links above. You may even be able to get up to three vaccines at the same time to make the most of your appointment!
