- Hepatitis B
- Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
- Influenza (Flu)
- Measles

- Polio
- Rotavirus
- Rubella
- Shingles (Herpes Zoster)

From infants to senior citizens, getting vaccines on time is one of the most important ways to protect yourself and others from serious diseases and infections. If you are a parent, the New York State Department of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the American Academy of Pediatrics all recommend that you keep your children up-to-date with the recommended vaccination schedule. It’s also important for adults to be sure that they have received all the vaccines recommended for adults.
