Flu and Pneumonia Vaccinations Available at ProHealth Care Clinics
There’s still time to become protected from illness with seasonal flu and pneumonia vaccinations available at ProHealth Care Medical Associates during designated hours, and on a walk-in basis.
There are four vaccination options available for protection against influenza this year. Intradermal flu vaccine is an option for adults age 18 – 64 who are anxious about needles. The vaccine is injected under the skin with a small, fine needle that is 90% smaller than needles used for regular flu shots.
Nasal flu mist is available for healthy adults under age 50, and is an alternative for those who prefer no needles.

High-dose flu vaccine can be given to those who are at least 65 years old. The higher dose stimulates a better immune response against the flu in older people, who may have weaker immune systems.
The quadrivalant vaccine is for children age 6 months to 3 years. It protects against four strains of influenza, rather than the usual three.
