What Is PrEP?
PrEP stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis. It involves taking a daily pill — such as Truvada® or Descovy® — to prevent HIV before potential exposure. It’s recommended for individuals who are HIV-negative and may be at higher risk due to:
Seasonal flu shots
The flu changes every year, which is why an annual vaccine is essential. Our flu shots help protect against the most common flu strains of the season, reducing your risk of illness and complications like pneumonia, especially for children, seniors, and those with chronic health conditions.
COVID-19 vaccines and boosters
Stay protected against COVID-19 with the latest vaccines and booster shots. These vaccines reduce your risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and long-term complications. Boosters are especially important to maintain strong immunity as the virus evolves.
Shingles vaccine (Shingrix)
Shingles is a painful skin rash caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus. Shingrix is a highly effective vaccine recommended for adults 50 years and older. It provides long-lasting protection against shingles and its complications, such as postherpetic neuralgia.
Pneumonia vaccines
Pneumonia can be life-threatening, particularly for older adults and people with chronic conditions. Our pneumonia vaccines help prevent serious lung infections caused by pneumococcal bacteria, offering peace of mind and protection for high-risk individuals.
HPV vaccine
The human papillomavirus (HPV) is linked to several types of cancer, including cervical, throat, and anal cancer. The HPV vaccine is recommended for both men and women, starting as early as age 11, and offers strong protection when administered before exposure to the virus.
Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis)
The Tdap vaccine protects against three serious diseases: tetanus (lockjaw), diphtheria (a severe throat infection), and pertussis (whooping cough). It’s especially important for caregivers, healthcare workers, and those in contact with infants, as pertussis can be dangerous for babies.
MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
This combination vaccine is essential for children and adults who have not been fully immunized. It protects against measles (a highly contagious virus), mumps (which can cause swelling and complications), and rubella (especially dangerous for pregnant women and newborns).
Travel vaccines (where applicable)
Planning a trip abroad? Some destinations require or recommend vaccines against diseases not common in the U.S., such as yellow fever, typhoid, or hepatitis A. Uptown Pharmacy can help you prepare by ensuring you receive the necessary vaccines before your travels.
