Immunization at CHDC
Immunization vs. Vaccination
When you go through "Immunization", it means you become immune to a disease. Becoming immune means you can't get the disease anymore. "Vaccination", or vaccine, refers to the shot of medicine you get to make you immune.

Childhood Vaccinations
Immunizations are one of the best ways to protect children from serious diseases and long-term health effects. Vaccinating your child can significantly lower their risk of illness, often preventing diseases entirely. At CHDC, we’re committed to creating a healthier future, beginning with healthy kids. Our mission is to safeguard children's health and well-being through effective vaccinations.
Adult Immunizations
Flu Shots, Shingles, HPV, and More
Continuing to receive immunizations as an adult is vital to your health. In our Total Care Program, preventative medicine is a key aspect of overall health. This way, we can prevent infections before you become sick.
Getting a yearly flu shot reduces your chance of contracting the flu. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that the flu is responsible for between 9 million and 41 million illnesses per year. By getting a flu shot each year, you reduce your chances of getting the high fever, body aches, chills, severe cough and stomach ache that accompany the flu.
Other common adult vaccinations include Shingles and HPV. HPV immunization is an essential part of women's health. The vaccination is for people aged 9-45 and can prevent STDs as well as cervical cancers.
Why Immunization?
- Spend less time sick
- Strengthen the immune system
- More cost-effective than treating illness once contracted
- Immunizations are often necessary for school attendance, college admission or traveling abroad
