Immunizations
We offer vaccine services for active duty, retirees and family members to include deployment and travel vaccines. Walk-in services are provided during normal business hours for routine vaccines. Please see Public Health prior to immunizations for required vaccinations regarding foreign travel. Smallpox appointments are available. This appointment may last an hour or two, to include a 45-minute briefing, therefore please plan accordingly. The allergy clinic is referral only, placed by in house provider. The purpose is to skin test patients for a variety of allergens including trees, cats, dogs, weeds, grasses, dust and molds. Based on these results a patient may be placed on allergy shots. Desensitization via allergy shots requires monthly shots for three to five years. Once referred you will be called to schedule the appointment on Thursday, 1 p.m., 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. Based on your appointment the technician will inform you what items to bring.
