Flu and Tetanus (Tdap) Vaccines

Vaccines are one of the simplest ways to prevent serious illness. At Clínica Hispana Mangum we give the flu vaccine and the tetanus booster, no appointment needed, and guide you on other vaccines you may need for your age.

Flu vaccine

• The CDC recommends it every year for everyone 6 months and older.
• Ideally get it in September or October, before cases rise, but it still helps throughout the season.
• It is especially important for people over 65, pregnant women, young children and people with diabetes, asthma or heart disease.

Tetanus booster (Td or Tdap)

• Adults need a booster every 10 years.
• If you have a dirty or deep wound and your last dose was more than 5 years ago, get it soon.
• During every pregnancy, Tdap is recommended between weeks 27 and 36 to protect the baby against whooping cough.

What should I know before getting vaccinated?

• A mild cold does not prevent vaccination; with a high fever it is better to wait.
• Tell us if you had a severe allergic reaction to a previous vaccine.
• Bring your vaccination record so the dose can be written down.

Which reactions are normal?

Soreness or redness in the arm, tiredness or a low fever for one or two days. If you have trouble breathing, facial swelling or widespread hives, get care right away.

Vaccines for paperwork

If you need vaccines for the immigration exam, see the I-693 medical exam; for school, bring the school requirement to your school physical.
