Adult Immunization Review & Coordination

A thoughtful, up-to-date review of the vaccines that keep you protected at every stage of adult life.

An adult immunization review is a careful look at your vaccine history alongside your age, health conditions, travel plans, and lifestyle, so we can recommend exactly what you need and nothing you don't. Built into your preventative care, it pairs naturally with your comprehensive physical examination to keep you protected against preventable illness here in Los Angeles.

How Your Immunization Review Works

We begin by gathering your complete vaccination record, including childhood shots, recent boosters, and anything documented by prior providers. From there, we compare your history against current adult guidelines and your personal risk factors to identify any gaps.

How to Prepare for Your Visit

The most helpful thing you can bring is your vaccination history, including any cards, app records, or notes from past providers or pharmacies. If you've traveled internationally or received vaccines abroad, let us know.

Please also share any upcoming travel, pregnancy plans, or chronic conditions, since these shape which vaccines are recommended and when.

After Your Review

You'll leave with a clear, written summary of which vaccines you're up to date on and which are recommended next, including ideal timing for any that need to be spaced out. We update your record so nothing slips through the cracks at future visits.

Most vaccines are well tolerated, with mild soreness or fatigue that resolves on its own. We'll let you know what to watch for and how to reach us.

What This Review Helps Protect Against

  • Seasonal influenza and respiratory illness
  • Shingles (herpes zoster) and its complications

  • Gaps from incomplete or undocumented childhood vaccines

Frequently Asked Questions

1Which vaccines do adults actually need?
It depends on your age, health, and history, but common adult vaccines include the annual flu shot, Tdap, shingles, pneumococcal, and COVID-19. We tailor recommendations to you rather than applying a one-size-fits-all list.
2What if I don't have my vaccination records?
That's very common, and we can still help. We'll gather what we can from past providers and pharmacies, and for certain vaccines we can either check immunity with bloodwork or safely restart a series.
3Are vaccines safe if I have a chronic condition?
For most people with chronic conditions, vaccines are not only safe but especially important, since these conditions can raise the risk of complications from preventable illness. We review your specific situation before recommending anything.
