Immunizations & Vaccinations

At Walberg Family Pharmacies, our pharmacists know which vaccines are best for you and your family. Stop in the pharmacy today to talk to your pharmacist about which vaccine(s) you may need to help protect you from vaccine-preventable illnesses. Call your pharmacy to see if the vaccine is currently available.

In Pennsylvania and Ohio, pharmacists may vaccinate 3 years and older for the Flu and Covid-19. In Pennsylvania, pharmacists may vaccinate ages 7-13 with a prescription or ages 13 and older.

  • The COVID-19 vaccine is recommended for everyone 6 months and older. Pharmacists can currently vaccinate those 3 years and older. It is recommended that all patients who received the initial monovalent vaccination (original COVID-19 vaccine) now receive the bivalent vaccination as a booster dose.

    Patients age 65 and older who received one bivalent booster dose are eligible for a second dose at least 4 months after their first bivalent dose of the COVID-19 Vaccine.

  • The best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated each year. The flu vaccine is recommended for everyone 6 months and older.

  • Pertussis, or whooping cough, is a highly contagious disease that spreads easily through the air when an infected person sneezes or coughs. Infants are typically infected by parents, siblings, caregivers, or other family members who may not even know that they have the disease. If you are expecting or have an infant, it is important that you and your family members get vaccinated.

  • Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. Only someone who had chickenpox, or who was vaccinated for chickenpox, can get shingles. The virus can remain in your body for many years without causing any symptoms. Shingles is a painful skin rash that can last for up to 4 weeks.

    At the pharmacy, we can administer the shingles vaccine to those 50 years of age and older, or age 19 and older for those who are immunocompromised.
