Vaccinations & Immunizations
At Ohio Primary Care, we believe prevention is the foundation of a healthier, longer life. One of the most effective ways to prevent illness and protect your loved ones is through timely vaccinations and immunizations. Our Columbus-based clinics are committed to offering safe, evidence-based vaccine services for children, teens, adults, and seniors.
Whether it’s your child’s school vaccines, seasonal flu shots, or adult boosters, we’re here to help make staying protected easy and accessible for the whole family.
Why Are Vaccines So Important?
Vaccines aren’t just about individual protection—they’re essential for protecting the entire community. They help prevent the spread of contagious diseases such as measles, influenza, hepatitis, and whooping cough. By keeping up with your recommended immunization schedule, you’re not only protecting yourself but also those around you who may be more vulnerable, such as infants, older adults, or immunocompromised individuals.
In Ohio, routine vaccinations and immunizations are also required for school entry and may be necessary for certain jobs or international travel.
Who Should Get Vaccinated?
At Ohio Primary Care, we provide vaccinations and immunizations for a wide range of patients starting at age 2 and up:
- Children: Following CDC and Ohio Department of Health guidelines, we offer pediatric vaccines including MMR, DTaP, polio, Hepatitis B, and more.
- Adolescents: We administer HPV, meningococcal, Tdap boosters, and other recommended adolescent vaccines.
- Adults: Protection doesn’t stop at childhood—adults need vaccines like influenza, shingles, pneumonia, and COVID-19 boosters.
- Seniors: Older adults are especially vulnerable to diseases like shingles and pneumonia; we provide targeted immunizations for aging adults.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between vaccinations and immunizations?
The terms are often used interchangeably. A vaccination refers to the act of receiving a vaccine, while immunization is the process your body goes through to build immunity. At Ohio Primary Care, we offer both services as part of our preventive care.
How do I know which vaccines I or my child needs?
Vaccine recommendations are based on your age, health history, occupation, and travel plans. Our providers stay up to date with CDC guidelines and Ohio state regulations. If you’re unsure, simply book a visit and we’ll review your immunization records.
Are there risks or side effects to vaccinations?
All medical treatments carry some risk, but vaccines are extensively tested for safety and monitored by federal health agencies. Common side effects are mild and include soreness, low-grade fever, or fatigue.
