CareNow Urgent Care, League City Towne Center - 3150 Gulf Fwy S, Dickinson
I have had to visit several times for covid-related issues. Every single visit I have been greeted and well taken care of. I saw Dr. Owo and Jim Patton FNP. They took their time and listened to me, and they gave me better care than going elsewhere. I can’t say enough kind words about the time and care they gave me. They are all so very awesome! Also I had to have paperwork filled out for work, and Dr. Owo went through it all painstakingly and completed the grueling paperwork! I’m very appreciative of her!

I am so thankful for Beamer Urgent Care. I hurt my right hand 5th finger playing ball. I went there in the evening and was seen immediately, x-rays were ordered and the Doctor himself called me with the results and referred me to specialist. Very concerned and very attentive physician. The entire process took less than 2 hours. Thank you

Don't know who the previous reviewer had for the day, but we would've loved to have shared a similar experience. I'm not upset for paying upfront for a visit, what upsets me was that whilst my girlfriend was sitting there in pain for more then 5 hours, I was under the impression that someone was with her. She was left alone while her eyes kept getting worse and worse until we said enough and had to leave. As she walked out, was when someone told her they had an IV ready for her. We'll get back to the IV. As we left in a hurry, my concern for my lady kept growing with each passing second, we decided to head over to MH. She barely had to wait with almost a full lobby, they saw her,(and no IVs were necessary nor harmed in this procedure) checked her eyes, gave her drops and immediately she felt relief. This all happened within 30 mins to an hour. Grace ER didn't check her eyes, they wanted to give her a pregnancy test instead, and an IV, I'm guessing because they thought her left eye had a fever and was pregnant with covid. Another mystery till this day was how they lost my girlfriends urine test twice, and when prompted about why a urine test was needed, the medical assistant was clueless. Several days later they called us to check up on her, so considerate and kind. That's when we decided to ask them where is hospitality and concern was when she needed it. They let us know that they would be starting an investigation and notify us of their findings. This was about a year and half ago, and clearly the situation is super serious because they're running all the leads as we haven't received a single update on this matter. Don't be deceived by the star rating, these people are thieves and crooks. If it wasn't for MH there was a very high chance my lady's left eye would've been damaged permanently. Please don't waste your time with them, check yelp, check google, reviews all have the same concerns that we did after all this dilemma.

Excellent Care every time. Excellent doctors. Best Urgent Care I know of. I've had to visit many Xs over the years. It's the right place to go in Baytown. They will help. Very professional physicians who are not about rushing. They're about caring correctly for patients.

Chickenpox Vaccine FAQs

  • Where can I get a chickenpox vaccine in Galveston?

    In general, allergy tests will be available at Galveston-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 chickenpox faster.

Galveston Chickenpox Vaccine

The varicella vaccine, sometimes known as the chickenpox vaccine, can help you avoid contracting the disease. By understanding more about what this immunization does and who should get it, you can make an informed health care decision for yourself and your family.

Chickenpox vaccination: what everyone should know

Chickenpox is a highly contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus. Chickenpox is characterized by an itchy, blister-like rash that appears first on the chest, back, and face before spreading to the rest of the body, according to the CDC. Other symptoms include fever and fatigue.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, two doses of the chickenpox vaccine are around 90% effective in preventing chickenpox, which means you could still get the disease after being vaccinated. Children, adolescents, and adults who have never had chickenpox or been inoculated against it should get this vaccination.

Who needs the chickenpox vaccine?

According to the CDC, children, teens, and adults should receive two doses of the chickenpox vaccine.
Children between the ages of 12 and 15 should receive the first dose of the chickenpox vaccine, and children between the ages of four and six should receive the second dose. Children can take the second dose at a younger age if it is given at least three months after the first, according to the CDC.

Those aged 13 and up who have never had chickenpox or been vaccinated should get two doses spaced by at least 28 days. According to the CDC, the chickenpox vaccine is especially important for healthcare workers, teachers, college students, nursing home patients, and international travelers.
Consult your doctor to see if you need the chickenpox vaccine based on your current health situation.

Who should not get the chickenpox vaccine?

You don't need the vaccine if you show evidence of immunity against chickenpox, according to the CDC. Immunity is demonstrated, among other things, by being born in the United States before 1980 and having a confirmed diagnosis of chickenpox.

According to the CDC, the following people should not obtain the chickenpox vaccine:

  • Those who have suffered a life-threatening reaction to the chickenpox vaccine or any of its components.
  • Those who are moderately or severely ill when their chickenpox immunization appointment is scheduled.
  • Women who are expecting children.

Certain patients should see their doctors before getting the chickenpox vaccine. According to the CDC, this includes:

  • Those who have an illness of the immune system, such as HIV or AIDS.
  • Those who have cancer or are being treated for cancer with radiation or medicines.
  • Those who have received a blood transfusion recently.

Two types of chickenpox vaccines

Two types of chickenpox vaccines are now approved for use in the United States. The vaccines' brand names, according to the CDC, are Varivax® and ProQuad®.

Varivax®

Varivax® contains only the chickenpox vaccination. Adults, teenagers, and children aged 12 months and up are the only ones who can get this vaccine.

ProQuad®

ProQuad® is a vaccine that includes the chickenpox vaccine as well as immunizations for measles, mumps, and rubella. This vaccination is only approved for children ages 12 months to 12 years, according to the CDC.

Getting vaccinated after you are exposed to chickenpox

If you have been exposed to chickenpox, the CDC recommends getting vaccinated within three to five days after contact. It goes on to state that you should get two doses of the vaccine even if you've been exposed for more than five days. Each of these dosages should be separated by at least 28 days.

Childcare and school chickenpox vaccine requirements

If you have been exposed to chickenpox, the CDC recommends getting vaccinated within three to five days after contact. It goes on to state that you should get two doses of the vaccine even if you've been exposed for more than five days. Each of these dosages should be separated by at least 28 days.

Your healthcare practitioner can discuss whether or not your children should get the chickenpox vaccine with you in greater detail based on your family's religious and philosophical beliefs, as well as their medical history.

How can parents pay for the chickenpox vaccine?

The chickenpox vaccination is covered by most health insurance policies, according to the CDC. If your health insurance plan does not cover the cost of your children's chickenpox immunization, the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program may be able to help. The CDC recommends contacting VFC directly to see if you're qualified for financial aid through this program.
