- Book your appointments early. We can’t guarantee slots during high-demand periods.
- Is your child nervous about shots? Explore the storybook, “Miss Violet Vaccine” by local Fishers author Daisy Ramani, to help ease their anxiety. Watch a virtual reading with the author and FHD here.
Adult Vaccines
Wondering which vaccines you need? Check the CDC’s adult vaccine recommendations. Note: Those with specific health conditions may have additional needs.
Our typical recommendations, aside from current COVID-19 guidelines:
- Hepatitis B: If not completed earlier
- Tdap: Every 10 years, for wounds, or during pregnancy
- Zoster (SHINGRIX): Starting at age 50
- Pneumococcal: Starting at age 50
- HPV: Up to age 45, based on consultation
- RSV: Starting at age 75 (and ages 60-74 with specific health conditions)
- Flu: Annually, around October
- Need the Shingles vaccine (SHINGRIX)? Shingrix is typically covered by most private insurance programs and Medicare Part D. Don’t have insurance? You may qualify for the vaccine manufacturer’s assistance program. Call the FHD clinic at 317-537-0500 to learn more.
