Do Not Risk It- Invest in Preventative Medicine with Vaccinations in Houston

Feb. 1, 2013 - PRLog -- Studies have found, however, that an ounce of prevention is indeed worth a pound of curing. Getting regularly checked up and inoculated against diseases and infections can make all the difference between healthiness and sickness, between getting stuff done and having to call in. Encouraging your employees to visit a clinic such as Houston Vaccines is the best way to keep productivity up and your employees healthy and happy.

What can you expect from Houston Vaccines?

Vaccinations in Houston are obviously one of the most important services offered by Houston Vaccines, but they are not the only service. Houston Vaccines is Houston's most trusted facility for drug testing, using state of the art equipment, along with tried and true methods. So whether you are checking on potential employees, want to make sure current employees are abiding by company policies, or need to refer a client or employee to a testing center for legal or personal reasons, you know you can trust Houston Vaccines for reliable and professional service.

For non- drug related needs, Houston Vaccines offers a variety of products and services to help you get back to work fast. For vaccinations in Houston for travel purposes, ask one of Houston Vaccines' trained physicians and technicians about shots such as Hepatitis B and malaria. These will ensure that, no matter where your business needs take you, you and your employees will be safe and secure. They can also advise you on alternatives to vaccines that are not available in the United States, such as smallpox and cholera. No- wait appointments mean you can get in and out in no time and feeling fine.

Houston Vaccines also offers a variety of testing services to ensure that you and your employees are not getting too much of a certain vaccine. Titer tests are available to determine which vaccinations have been given to a patient and have prompted immunity, even if they do not have medical documentation readily available. These tests usually take 2-5 days and are priced by the antigen. With TB tests to ensure maximum health security and blood draws readily available for testing patients of all ages, Houston Vaccines can be trusted to answer all your health testing needs.

In addition to class schedules, tuition and fees, college students have one more thing to worry about this semester: meeting new meningitis vaccine requirements before they can start classes.

In May 2012, the Texas Legislature approved Senate Bill 1107, which requires new college students to provide proof of a bacterial meningitis vaccine 10 days before classes begin.
Now, all new students to a college or university, transfer students or students who are returning to college after taking off consecutive semesters are required to get the bacterial meningitis vaccine. Students enrolled only in online or other long-distance education courses or who are 30 years of age or older are exempted from immunization requirements, according to the bill summary. In response to concern that some students can't afford the vaccines our clinic is offering student discounts at this time to bring the vaccine down to the cost which is $115 for the 2013 year to allow students who were not aware of the requirement to get a pricing break.

Houston Vaccines is a locally owned and operated immunization clinic specializing in the needs of Houston citizens and businesses. Dedicated staffs of trained professionals ensure that your experience is always comfortable and convenient, and provides you with the best vaccinations in Houston. For over 6 years, Houston Vaccines has been working to build a healthier Texas, one patient at a time. Their dedication to efficiency, service, and effectiveness is what puts them at the forefront of medical testing and technology in the area.
