Get the Shot You Need Without Chasing Down an Appointment
Most people find out they need a vaccine at the worst possible moment. Two weeks before a flight. At a new job that asks for proof of Tdap. At a checkup where shingles gets mentioned and then never scheduled.
A pharmacy in Delaware can handle both lists for you: the routine doses you have fallen behind on, and the ones a country wants in your arm before it lets you through. No appointment needed for either one.
Walk-ins are welcome. Come in any time we are open and a pharmacist will take care of it. Travelling? Call ahead so your itinerary can be reviewed and anything unusual can be ordered in.
Routine and Seasonal Vaccines
| Vaccine | Who usually needs it |
|---|---|
| Flu | Everyone from six months up, once a year, ideally before the end of October. |
| COVID-19 | Updated each season. Ask which formula is current and whether you are due. |
| Tdap / Td | A booster roughly every ten years, during each pregnancy, and whenever a job or a school asks for proof. |
| Shingles | Adults from 50 up, as a two dose series. Worth asking about earlier if your immune system is suppressed. |
| Pneumococcal | Adults from 50 up, and earlier for people with certain lung, heart, or immune conditions. |
| Hepatitis A and B | Catch-up doses for adults who never finished the series, plus travel and workplace exposure. |
| MMR | Adults without proof of immunity, which schools, employers, and some countries do ask for. |
Travel Vaccines
| Vaccine | Commonly needed for |
|---|---|
| Typhoid | South Asia and parts of Africa and Latin America, especially outside the main cities. |
| Hepatitis A | Most destinations outside the US, Canada, Western Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. |
| Rabies | Rural stays, animal work, and long trips a long way from a hospital. |
| Polio booster | A one-time adult booster for certain countries, some of which ask for written proof at the border. |
| Meningococcal | Required for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims, and advised across the African meningitis belt. |
Start early. Several travel vaccines come as a series and need four to six weeks to finish, so bring your itinerary in as soon as the trip is booked rather than the week before you fly.
We take most insurance plans for vaccines given here. Which vaccines you actually need is decided at the counter, based on your age, your record, and where you are going.
What Gets Checked Before Anything Is Given
Your history, read properly
Your age, your past doses and the spacing between them decide whether a booster is actually due or whether you would be paying for a shot you do not need yet.
Your itinerary, country by country
Two travelers on the same trip can need different vaccines depending on where they stay, how rural the stops are and which countries they pass through on the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Aim for at least four to six weeks before departure. Several travel vaccines come as a series of doses spaced weeks apart, and your body needs time to build protection after the last one. If your trip is sooner than that, still call. Partial protection is usually better than none, and some options work on shorter timelines.
Bring what you have. Old paperwork, a photo of a card, your state immunization registry entry or a printout from a previous doctor all help. If nothing turns up, the pharmacist works from your age, your health history and what you can recall, then builds a schedule from there. Missing records rarely stop you from getting protected.
Just come in. Walk-ins are welcome for every vaccine we give, and no appointment is needed. If you are travelling, calling ahead helps, since the itinerary review takes a few minutes and some travel vaccines have to be ordered in.
We take most insurance plans. Coverage for a specific vaccine still depends on your plan, your age and whether the dose is considered routine or travel related. Travel vaccines are more often billed to you directly than seasonal ones. Bring your card and ask before the shot so there are no surprises.
Usually yes. Many vaccines can be given together on the same visit, often in different arms. A few have spacing rules that require a gap between doses, which is exactly what gets checked before anything is drawn up. Tell the pharmacist about every shot you have had recently, including ones given elsewhere.
