Vaccinations for Adults
Medical
advancements, especially in the field of preventive medicine, have
allowed us to finally be a step ahead of disease.
Vaccinations
deal a preemptive strike against would-be invading organisms by
encouraging the human body to develop immunity to defend against
these diseases, even before they have a chance to attack us. Some of
these diseases are more likely to occur if we travel to certain parts
of the world, and in some cases, vaccination is mandated before you
are allowed to travel to certain countries.
Vaccination for
adults include vaccines against debilitating, and even deadly,
organisms such as influenza, pneumococcus, meningococcus, diphtheria,
tetanus, et cetera. Some
vaccinations have even proven to be effective in preventing specific
cancers. Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines are a potent weapon in
our fight against cervical cancer.
Some
vaccinations are even included in the National Adult Immunisation
Schedule, and all OneDoctors clinics are able to assist you in
submitting Medisave claims under this Schedule, to defray
your out-of-pocket cost for these vaccines.
Not sure what vaccinations you ought to be taking? Our doctors are on hand to recommend vaccinations tailored to you. (Please note that vaccinations are subject to stock availability)
