Vaccinations in Spartanburg, SC

Staying up‑to‑date on vaccinations is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your family’s health, and it’s something every Spartanburg resident should prioritize. After all, who has time to get sick? Immunizations also help prevent serious illnesses, reduce the spread of disease, and support community health for people of all ages. At Westgate Family Physicians, patients can receive a wide range of recommended vaccines for children, adults, and travel. Here’s what’s recommended.

Childhood Vaccines

Children need a series of immunizations at key ages to protect them from diseases that can have lifelong consequences. Essential childhood vaccines include:

Chickenpox
DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis)
Haemophilus influenzae type b
Hepatitis A & B
Influenza
MMR (measles, mumps, rubella)
Polio
Pneumococcus
Rotavirus

Adolescents can also receive vaccines like HPV and meningococcal vaccines, which help protect against cancer causing viruses and life threatening bacterial infections.

Adult Immunizations

Vaccines aren’t just for children; adults need them too. Getting these vaccines helps you stay healthy and prevents the spread of disease to children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.

Annual influenza vaccine
TDaP/Tdap booster
HPV
Shingles

Travel Vaccines

Planning a trip abroad? You may need vaccines your regular schedule doesn’t cover. Recommended immunizations can include yellow fever, hepatitis A or B, typhoid, rabies, and more. Ideally these are administered 4–6 weeks before your departure.
