Our Pharmacist Clinicians are licensed to prescribe and administer many routine and travel vaccines.  We have teams who travel all over New Mexico immunizing school employees and various state entities.  Walk-in shot clinics at Advanced Medication in Carlsbad on Wednesdays from 2:00pm to 5:00pm, or other arrangements can be made to better fit your schedule.

Below is a list of our common vaccines we offer as well as a short description.  For further information you may follow the link on the vaccine name (red letters) to view the Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) on the Center for Disease Control website (www.cdc.gov).

Seasonal Flu: Should be given to everyone  annually in fall to prevent influenza - AGES 4 & UP ONLY - Younger children must see their pediatrician.

Pneumonia: For older adults or people with decreased resistance to infection.

Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis-Adacel : For 11-18yr olds, and 19-64 one time for the next dose.

Hepatitis A: 2 shot series 6 months apart, disease transmitted via food or human waste.

Hepatitis B:  3 shot series, 2nd booster in 30 days, 3rd booster after 6 months, disease usually  transmitted via blood or body fluid contact.

HPV-Gardasil: For females 9-26, prevents some cervical cancers caused by Human Papillomavirus, in a 3 shot series. Initial dose, 2nd booster in 60 days, 3rd booster in 6 months.

HPV - Gardasil is now approved for boys to prevent genital warts age 9-26

Meningococcal: Recommended for all children ages 11-18 and is required for most students entering college.

Zostavax: Zostavax is an approved immunization by the CDC for adults 60 years and older to prevent shingles.  It is likely the CDC will lower the age to 50 years to match the FDA recommendations.  Due to limited availablility we will only be administering Zostavax to patients over the age of 60 at this time.  When the CDC changes its recommendation and vaccine availability increases, we will begin administering to those 50 years and older.
