Immunizations help the body’s immune system learn how to fight germs by introducing a weakened or dead part of a virus or bacteria. Protection after vaccination can last for years or even a lifetime for some vaccines, while others require booster shots to maintain immunity. The recommended vaccine schedule can vary depending on factors such as age, health status, and previous vaccine history. It is important to follow the recommended schedule to ensure the best protection against infectious diseases. To schedule an appointment call or text 209-722-GVHC (4842)
