Why Getting Current On Vaccinations Matters
Vaccinations remain one of the most effective tools in preventive medicine. Staying up to date on your immunizations reduces your risk of preventable illness and protects people in your household who are more vulnerable to serious infection. Adults often overlook booster doses and annual vaccines, assuming their childhood immunizations are still sufficient. Many are not.
The Georgia Department of Public Health maintains adult immunization schedules organized by age, and recommendations change over time as new formulations are approved and updated. Checking your vaccination history and filling in any gaps is a practical step you can take this year.

Residents of Bowdon, Carrollton, Heflin, and the surrounding area have a local option for adult vaccinations. You do not need to rely on pharmacy chains or travel outside your county for preventive shots. Bowdon Family Medicine brings that care directly to the community that built this practice.
We accept Medicaid, Tri-care, Amerigroup, and All Kids of Alabama insurance, so coverage is accessible for a wide range of patients. If you have questions about whether your plan covers a specific vaccination, call our office and we will help you find out.
What Should You Bring To A Vaccination Appointment?

We can help you assess what you need based on your age, health history, and any travel or occupational requirements. If you do not have insurance, we accept credit card and cash payments as well.
Immunization Records And Vaccine Safety
If you receive a vaccination at Bowdon Family Medicine, your record is documented through your visit.
