Vaccines protect individuals and communities from various infectious diseases. At Shaker Medical Group in Hackensack and Clifton, NJ, we provide our patients with access to the most effective vaccines and the latest information on vaccination schedules. Understanding what a vaccine is and how it works allows one to appreciate its importance in maintaining your health and public health. We give yearly Flu shots as part of our patients’ regular care. We also provide up to date instructions on other vaccines including: COVID, Shingles, Pneumonia, Tetanus and RSV.
Many types of vaccines are available, each designed to protect against specific diseases. Some vaccines are live attenuated, meaning they contain a weakened form of the virus, while others use inactivated pathogens or pieces of the pathogen to build immunity. Understanding which vaccines are live and why vaccines are important can help you make informed decisions about your health.
We offer tailored vaccine schedules for patients of all ages, from infants to adults. The childhood vaccination schedule includes essential vaccines to protect babies and young children from common illnesses. For adults, our vaccination schedule ensures ongoing protection against diseases, with recommendations for boosters and age-specific vaccines to maintain lifelong immunity.

While vaccinations are generally safe, some individuals may experience vaccination side effects. These are usually mild, such as soreness at the injection site or a low-grade fever. It's important to understand the potential adverse effects of vaccines and to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.
By staying informed, following recommended vaccine schedules, and understanding the importance of immunizations, you can take proactive steps toward a healthier future for yourself and those around you. Our team is here to support you every step of the way, offering expert guidance and care as you navigate your vaccination journey.
