Health Risks

Throat swelling, heart and nerve damage
Pertussis (Whooping Cough)
Highly contagious airborne illness
Violent coughing fits, dangerous for babies & elderly
You don’t need to wait for an injury or doctor visit — you can walk in for a Tdap shot today.
Who Should Get a Tdap Vaccine?
Adults (18+) — If You’ve Never Had One
Many adults assume they are already protected, but a single dose of Tdap is needed in adulthood, even if you were vaccinated as a child.
Every Pregnant Woman — During Each Pregnancy
Getting a Tdap shot between weeks 27–36 protects both mom and baby. Newborns cannot be vaccinated and rely on maternal antibodies.
Parents, Grandparents & Caregivers of Infants
Pertussis can be deadly for infants. If you’ll be around a newborn, get vaccinated at least 2 weeks beforehand.
Anyone With Cuts, Burns, or Injury Risk
If you have a wound and haven’t had a Tdap or Td booster within 10 years, you should be vaccinated immediately to prevent tetanus.
Workers in Schools, Healthcare, or Public Settings
Many employers require proof of Tdap immunization — we provide same-day documentation for work or school.
How Often Do You Need a Tdap Booster?
- One lifetime dose of Tdap (if you’ve never had it as a teen or adult)
- Then a Td or Tdap booster every 10 years
- Pregnant women need Tdap for each pregnancy, regardless of last dose
If you’re unsure whether you’ve had Tdap, it’s safe to repeat — and safer than risking infection.

What is Urgent Care?
Urgent care bridges the gap between primary care and the emergency room. It’s designed for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries that require immediate attention — faster than waiting for a regular appointment, and without the high costs of the ER.
At our clinic, urgent care means same-day access to medical providers, on-site testing, and fast treatment so you can get relief and return to your daily life.
Our urgent care services cover a wide range of common medical needs, including:
- Cold, flu, and COVID-19 testing and treatment
- Sore throats, strep, and sinus infections
- Cough, bronchitis, and RSV evaluation
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Ear infections and eye conditions (including pink eye)
- Minor cuts, burns, and skin infections
- Muscle strains, sprains, and minor injuries
- Headaches and migraines
- Nausea, vomiting, and stomach issues
- Same-day lab testing and medication refills for urgent needs
Walk in anytime — no appointment is required.
Urgent care is best when you need quick medical attention for issues that are uncomfortable, painful, or concerning — but not life-threatening.
Examples include:
- Fever, cough, or flu symptoms
- Ear pain or sore throat
- Minor allergic reactions
- Small cuts or burns
- Sprains or strains
- Painful urination or suspected UTI
- Rashes, skin infections, or insect bites
Some symptoms require emergency care. Call 911 or go directly to the ER if you experience:
- Chest pain or pressure
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
- Severe abdominal pain
- Head injuries or loss of consciousness
- Sudden weakness, numbness, or difficulty speaking
- Severe allergic reaction (trouble breathing, swelling of face/throat)
- Heavy bleeding that won’t stop
- Suspected stroke or heart attack
- Convenience: Walk in anytime, no appointment needed
- Speed: Short wait times compared to the ER
- Affordability: Lower costs than hospital emergency care
- Comprehensive care: On-site testing and treatment for a wide range of urgent conditions
- Personalized attention: Our providers take time to understand your needs and guide your recovery
