Vaccination injections are vital for teaching your body’s immune system how to recognize and defend itself against harmful bacteria and viruses. There are several types of vaccines that can protect you and your family. Dr. Daniel Benhuri provides a comprehensive range of vaccinations for families in Beverly Hills, California.
Flu Shots
The flu sends over 200,000 people to the hospital every year. This contagious respiratory illness can affect the nose, throat and lungs. It can lead to mild illness and sometimes death. Individuals over six months of age are recommended to get a flu shot every year.
Tetanus Shots
Tetanus is a serious disease caused by bacteria entering an open wound. Once the bacteria enters your system, it can cause muscles to stiffen and your jaw to tighten. If not treated, the condition can result in death. Children should receive a series of six tetanus shots. Adults are recommended to receive a booster shot once every 10 years to stay fully immunized.
Vitamin B-12 Injections
If you are feeling tired and weak, your body may be lacking Vitamin B12, which is crucial for a healthy brain and nervous system. Vitamin B12 injections can help this deficiency. Make sure to tell your doctor about any allergies or medical conditions you have before receiving these injections.
Hepatitis Vaccines
There are a few different types of hepatitis vaccines. This contagious virus can create numerous serious health conditions if left untreated. These vaccines are given as a series of shots for children and as a booster shot for adults.
TDAP Vaccine
The TDAP vaccine protects you against three types of bacteria: tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. These conditions can cause serious medical issues if left untreated. This vaccine is typically given to children around 12 years old as a booster shot.
