IMMUNIZATIONS
SENIORS
Older adults are more likely to contract viruses like the flu and pneumonia, and to have serious complications.
There are many different vaccines specifically for seniors, including shingles (50+), pneumonia (65+), COVID-19, and the High Dose flu vaccine. Talk to our team for information on the different available vaccines — we can help you stay up to date on your shots!
CHILDREN
Children are more likely to have flu-related complications if they catch the flu virus. The CDC recommends all children 6 months and up receive a flu vaccination.
Melrose Pharmacy offers walk-in flu shots without a prescription for children and adults. Call us for more information on vaccines for children.
THOSE WITH CHRONIC CONDITIONS
Many chronic conditions impact the immune system, which means that those living with chronic diseases have a higher risk of catching a virus if they come across it.
Talk to your doctor or our team to see if you qualify for various vaccines. Some vaccines, like pneumonia, are recommended at younger ages for people living with several chronic conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, and asthma.
