You’re Starting School or College
 Educational institutions often require updated vaccines for enrollment, especially for children and teens.
Who Can Benefit from Immunizations & Vaccinations?
Everyone can benefit from staying up to date on vaccinations—children, teens, adults, and older adults alike. Immunizations protect vulnerable populations like infants, seniors, and those with weakened immune systems, while also helping stop the spread of contagious illnesses within the community. Whether you're preparing your child for school, updating your own records for work or travel, or managing a chronic condition that increases your risk, our team ensures you receive the right vaccines at the right time.
What to Expect from a Baker Health Immunizations & Vaccinations Visit
Our vaccination appointments are quick, easy, and designed with your comfort in mind. Here’s what typically happens during your visit:
Vaccine History Review
We begin by reviewing your vaccination records and identifying any gaps based on CDC guidelines or your personal risk factors. This helps us customize an immunization schedule that aligns with your health needs and lifestyle.
Personalized Vaccine Plan
Your provider will explain which vaccines are recommended for your age, health status, occupation, and travel plans, and answer any questions you may have. We’ll go over the expected timeline, dosing intervals, and how each vaccine fits into your overall health plan.
Safe and Comfortable Administration
Our team administers vaccines gently and efficiently, using best practices for hygiene and comfort. We also offer tips to ease soreness or anxiety, making the process easier for children, adults, and those with needle sensitivity.
Immediate Monitoring
After your vaccination, we’ll observe you for a short period to ensure there are no adverse reactions—though side effects are rare. Our team is trained to manage any immediate symptoms and keep you safe and supported.
Follow-Up and Scheduling
We provide documentation for your immunization and schedule any future doses or boosters as needed. You’ll receive digital reminders and easy-to-access records through your patient portal.

Frequently Asked Questions
 Many adults don’t realize that vaccines aren’t just for kids. Immunity from childhood vaccines can wear off over time, and new vaccines may become available to protect against emerging threats. Adults benefit from boosters and new immunizations to protect themselves and others—especially during flu season, pandemics, or outbreaks.
 The influenza (flu) shot is recommended every year for nearly all individuals over six months of age. Other annual considerations include the updated COVID-19 vaccine or booster, depending on evolving guidelines. We’ll assess your age and risk profile to recommend timely vaccines each year.
 Yes, vaccines are rigorously tested and monitored for safety. Side effects are typically mild and temporary, such as a sore arm or low-grade fever. Our providers are trained to screen for allergies or contraindications to minimize risk and ensure vaccines are administered safely.
 If you don’t have a vaccine record, we can help assess your status through blood testing (titers), past medical records, or by restarting recommended vaccines based on your age and risk level. It’s never too late to catch up on missed immunizations.
 Yes. In most cases, it is safe and efficient to receive more than one vaccine during the same visit. This is especially helpful for those with busy schedules or upcoming travel plans. We’ll explain each one and monitor for any reactions.
 Vaccines don’t prevent 100% of infections but significantly reduce your risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and transmission. Even if you do get sick, vaccinated individuals usually have milder symptoms and recover faster.
 Most health insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare, cover routine vaccines and annual flu shots. Some travel vaccines may not be fully covered. We’ll verify your benefits and provide transparent pricing if anything falls outside of your plan.
 Most side effects are mild and go away on their own—like arm soreness, redness at the injection site, fatigue, or a low-grade fever. Rare but serious reactions are extremely uncommon. Our team is prepared to respond immediately should they occur.
 It depends on the vaccine, but most start building protection within one to two weeks after administration. Full immunity may take a few doses or boosters, depending on the vaccine. Your provider will explain what to expect and how long protection lasts.
 You can schedule by calling our office, booking through our patient portal, or requesting a same-day appointment during a primary care visit. We’ll help ensure you're up to date and take the time to answer all your vaccine-related questions.
