Vaccination and Immunization in Houston

Why Vaccinations Matter

Vaccinations play a crucial role in preventing the spread of infectious diseases and reducing the incidence of vaccine-preventable illnesses within a community. Without adequate herd immunity, people who are immunocompromised or have allergies that prevent vaccination are made more vulnerable. Getting vaccinated can also help protect loved ones, like children or elderly relatives, who may be more susceptible to complications due to ailments like the flu or COVID-19.

Types of Vaccines Offered

By stimulating the body's immune response to specific pathogens, vaccines help build immunity and protect against infections. St. Hope Healthcare provides a comprehensive range of vaccines to prevent the transmission of illnesses among different age groups, including:

• Childhood Vaccines: We offer routine childhood vaccinations to protect infants and children from diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, polio, pertussis (whooping cough) and hepatitis B. Our pediatric healthcare providers follow recommended vaccination schedules established by leading health authorities, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
• Adult Vaccines: Adults also benefit from staying up to date on their immunizations to maintain optimal health and immunity. Our healthcare providers offer a range of adult vaccines, including those for influenza (flu), pneumococcal disease, shingles (herpes zoster), tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (Tdap) and more.
• Travel Vaccines: For individuals planning international travel, St. Hope Healthcare offers travel vaccinations to protect against diseases prevalent in specific regions of the world. Our healthcare providers can provide personalized recommendations based on travel itineraries and destination-specific health risks.
• Seasonal Vaccines: We also provide seasonal vaccines, such as the influenza (flu) vaccine, to protect against seasonal viruses and illnesses. These vaccines are recommended annually to ensure ongoing immunity against prevalent strains of influenza virus.

Vaccination Schedules and Boosters

At St. Hope Healthcare, we believe in adherence to recommended vaccination schedules for optimal protection against vaccine-preventable diseases. Our healthcare providers offer guidance on vaccination schedules tailored to different age groups according to established guidelines from leading health organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

For infants and children, we adhere to the CDC's comprehensive childhood vaccine schedule, which outlines the timing and sequence of vaccines from birth through adolescence. Our pediatric healthcare providers work closely with parents to make sure their children receive vaccinations according to the recommended schedule, helping to establish immunity and protect their health throughout childhood.

Similarly, adults can benefit from staying current on their immunizations to maintain optimal protection against vaccine-preventable illnesses. Our healthcare providers offer guidance on adult vaccination schedules, which may include booster doses of certain vaccines to reinforce immunity over time. For example, tetanus booster shots are recommended every 10 years to maintain protection against tetanus infection, especially in individuals who may be at risk of exposure to contaminated wounds or injuries.
