Doctors on duty at 1212 South Main Street is awesome, the staff are all professionals at what they do, and are caring about their patients. I received a lot of help from the office managers taking care of paperwork. And dealing with the doctor's assistants is a comforting experience. The doctors are understanding of their patients discomfort and pain as they work hard getting their patients on the road to recovery. My personal thanks to Dr. Luder, Lucina, and Veronica, for outstanding professionalism.

De Paul Urgent Care Center - 18550 Depaul Dr, Morgan Hill
I have just moved to Morgan Hill. My 82 year mom had injured her arm/ shoulder and I really needed immediate care for her as we are not registered with any doctors here. I turned to De Paul Urgent Care.She has Medicare coverage. I had to make a couple of trips because of the wait, but that was ok. Steve, very polite and helpful, at the front desk assured me she would be seen and my place in line was saved and we could go home to rest, and we came back later. The nurse was kind and thorough, Dr. Stephen Scherr gave us so much of his time in examining my mom and facilitated her X rays immediately. The X ray technician was so kind and gentle and patient with my mom. The results came in and Dr. Scherr, again explained in detail what was happening. The discharge nurse was kind and went through our instructions patiently. Her meds were ordered and we went home happy, knowing that nothing is broken and that we could have a Thanksgiving without worry. I am so grateful to this team. I have no words to thank them all.

If I could give Dr. Vilivalam six stars, I would! I have been seeing Dr. Vilivalam for a while and he is one of the best doctor I've seen. He always takes the time to understand the issue and diagnose accurately and/or provide recommendations. He and his team are warm, welcoming, and helpful. It's also very convenient that I can schedule video visits on his website, and the process is extremely easy. Highly recommend!

I went there yesterday and I got a quick good service I have never had every time I wanted going to see the Doctor. The guy works at reception he’s very friendly and kindly. He helped me fullest . Then I met the Doctor after I told him my health’s issues- He gave me prescription. Only 2 days from yesterday and today I took the medicine from Doctor’s prescription I really feel better. I want to thanks Doctor is very nice . nice Doctor- nice employees. They work professional. It took me about 45 minutes done everything. Fast over my expectation. I’m happy for that . I don’t wish I will go there often but at least now I know where I can go any time I feel sick . Because I been going to see my family doctor and what I got from my family doctor is employees were not nice and bad service. They treated me like I were there for free . That’s sad. Thanks you again Evergreen Urgentcare where the service is good people should to know . 👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️

Shingles Vaccine FAQs

  • Where can I get a shingles vaccine in Aromas?

    In general, shingles vaccines will be available at Aromas-area urgent care centers, retail clinics, primary care doctor offices and local pharmacies. While walk-in appointments are typically available, booking a visit online will reduce your wait time and ensure you protect yourself from shingles faster.

  • How can I book a shingles vaccine in Aromas?

    Regardless of the kind of vaccination you are seeking, Solv can help you book an appointment. Simply search for Aromas-area doctors, find a provider, and book the most convenient time for you. Be sure to include “shingles vaccine” or “vaccine consultation” as your reason for visit, and bring any relevant travel plans and previous immunization records.

  • Can I make a same-day appointment for a shingles vaccine in Aromas?

    Same-day and next-day appointments for shingles vaccines or consultations can easily be booked directly through Solv. Simply search for Aromas-area doctors, find a provider, and book an appointment as soon as today.

  • How do I find the top-rated vaccination specialists in Aromas?

    Solv gathers reviews, ratings, and other data on Aromas-area vaccination specialists to ensure the clinics provided meet our standards. Search for a shingles vaccine provider, see what previous patients think, and book an appointment with a top-rated doctor today!

  • Who should get a shingles vaccine?

    You should get the shingles vaccine if you are at high risk for getting it or if you are experiencing symptoms. It is recommended that individuals 60 and older get the shingles vaccine, as this is when the risk of contraction is high. Even if you have previously contracted shingles, you should get the vaccine to prevent or mitigate future cases. The shingles vaccine is not recommended by the CDC for anyone younger than 60 because it has not yet been thoroughly studied in those age groups.

  • How much does a shingles vaccine cost in Aromas?

    Without insurance, a shingles vaccine and the consultation generally preceding it can cost anywhere from $200 to $250.

  • Is a shingles vaccine covered by my insurance?

    All Medicare part D and most private health insurance plans cover the shingles vaccine. Typically, you will have to cover a co-payment for the consultation and, in some cases, the vaccine itself.

  • How well does the shingles vaccine work?

    The shingles vaccine, according to the CDC, is 97 percent effective in preventing shingles in people aged 50 to 69 who have a strong immune system, and 91 percent effective in people aged 70 and up who have a weak immune system. It goes on to claim that in people with weakened immune systems, the shingles vaccine is 68 percent to 91 percent effective in preventing shingles. According to the CDC, the Shingrix vaccine is 91 percent effective in preventing long-term nerve damage from shingles in people 50 years and older, and 89 percent effective in adults 70 years and older.

  • How often do you need to get the shingles vaccine?

    The CDC recommends that people over 50 receive just two doses of the shingles vaccination, separated by two to six months. Adults aged 19 and above with a weakened immune system should have a second dose of the shingles vaccine one to two months after the first.

  • How long after the shingles vaccine are you contagious?

    According to the CDC, shingles is a contagious virus that only infects those who have already had chickenpox. The CDC recommends getting the shingles vaccination even if you've already had chickenpox.

Aromas Shingles Vaccine

The shingles vaccine can help reduce your risk of getting shingles and related complications, such as long-term nerve discomfort. Knowing more about this vaccine and what it can do for you and your family will help you make better health decisions for yourself and your family.

About the shingles

Shingles is a painful, blistering skin rash caused by the varicella-zoster virus. According to the National Library of Medicine, the varicella-zoster virus is the same virus that causes chickenpox (NLM).

Your body goes into dormancy once you've experienced chickenpox. According to the National Library of Medicine, the chickenpox virus can reactivate and produce shingles if it does so several years later.

According to the National Library of Medicine, people over 60 who had chickenpox before the age of 12 months are most likely to develop shingles. You may be more susceptible to shingles if your immune system has been weakened by illness or medicines.

Shingles Symptoms

According to the National Library of Medicine, the main symptom of shingles is a painful skin rash that starts on the spine and wraps around to the front of the chest or abdomen. Some people may develop rashes around their eyes, lips, and ears, according to the National Library of Medicine.

Before rashes appear, pain, tingling, and burning on one side of the body are common symptoms, according to the National Library of Medicine. Following these feelings, red skin patches and little blisters appear, which rupture open to form small, dry, crusty sores. Shingles sores usually heal in two to three weeks with no scarring.

According to the National Library of Medicine, other shingles symptoms include:

  • Fever and chills
  • Headache
  • Malaise
  • Joint pain
  • Muscle weakness
  • Swollen lymph nodes
  • Drooping eyelid
  • Hearing loss
  • Vision problems
  • Taste problems

How to contract the shingles

The varicella-zoster virus reactivates in your body after you've had chickenpox, resulting in shingles. According to the CDC, you cannot receive shingles from someone else who has it. Chickenpox can, however, be contracted from someone who has shingles, increasing your chances of developing shingles later.

According to the National Library of Medicine, no one knows why the varicella-zoster virus suddenly becomes active again years later. According to the findings, many people who had mild cases of chickenpox are unaware they even had the virus in the first place.

What vaccines can help prevent shingles?

Two doses of the Shingrix shingles vaccination can prevent shingles. The Shingrix vaccine, according to the CDC, can also reduce your risk of shingles complications. According to the business, this shingles shot, which is given in the upper arm, is more than 90% effective in preventing shingles in people 50 and older with a good immune system.

Should I get the shingles vaccine?

The CDC recommends shingles immunization for adults aged 50 and up, as well as those aged 19 and up, who have compromised immune systems as a result of disease or pharmaceutical therapy. It also recommends having the shingles vaccination if you've had shingles and/or chickenpox in the past, as well as if you've had another shingles vaccine called Zostavax, which is no longer available in the United States.

What are the side effects?

The shingles vaccine, according to the CDC, can induce temporary side effects that make it difficult to accomplish ordinary tasks for two to three days.

The following are some of the possible shingles vaccine side effects:

  • Sore arm with mild to moderate pain
  • Redness and swelling at the injection site
  • Tiredness
  • Muscle pain
  • Headache
  • Fever and chills
  • Stomach pain
  • Nausea

According to the CDC, side effects are more common in younger people, and you may have a reaction to the shingles injection after both doses. It is recommended that you take over-the-counter pain medicines such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen if you experience side effects after getting the shingles vaccine.

According to the CDC, another possible side effect of the shingles vaccine is Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). GBS is a rare but dangerous illness in which your immune system targets the peripheral neurological system, which controls the nerves in your brain and spinal cord, according to the National Library of Medicine.

Can I get a shingles vaccine if I’m younger than 50?
