At our urgent care centers, we understand the importance of staying healthy and prepared for various health challenges. That’s why we offer essential immunizations and tests, including TB skin tests, tetanus shots, and allergy shot administration. These services play a critical role in maintaining your health and preventing complications from illnesses or allergies.
TB Skin Tests
A Tuberculosis (TB) skin test, also known as a Mantoux test, is used to screen for latent tuberculosis infection. This test is often required for:
- Employment Clearance: Especially for healthcare workers, educators, and those in public service roles.
- School Admission: Many schools and universities require TB testing for enrollment.
- Travel Requirements: Some countries mandate TB testing for visitors or workers.
The test is simple and quick. A small amount of tuberculin is injected just under the skin, and you’ll return within 48-72 hours to have the results read by our healthcare providers.
Tetanus Shots
Tetanus, also known as lockjaw, is a serious bacterial infection that can cause muscle stiffness and spasms. Tetanus shots are crucial for:
- Wound Care: Preventing tetanus after injuries like cuts, punctures, or burns.
- Routine Boosters: Adults need a tetanus booster every 10 years to maintain immunity.
Our urgent care team provides tetanus shots promptly and efficiently, ensuring you’re protected whether it’s part of your routine care or following an injury.
Administration of Allergy Shots
For individuals managing allergies, regular allergy shots (immunotherapy) can significantly improve quality of life. These injections help reduce sensitivity to allergens over time, providing relief from symptoms like sneezing, congestion, and itchy eyes.
At our centers, we:
- Administer Allergy Shots: As prescribed by your allergist, ensuring timely and accurate delivery of these essential immunizations.
- Monitor for Reactions: After your shot, we observe you briefly to ensure there are no adverse reactions from essential immunizations.
- Provide a Comfortable Experience: Our team is committed to making each visit as smooth as possible.
