Flu Shots Bristol CT

If you need a flu shot and you’re in the Bristol, Connecticut, area, you can turn to PhysicianOne Urgent Care. We’re a trusted immediate care provider and we’re pleased to offer the influenza vaccine, as well as vaccinations for a number of other illnesses like diphtheria, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, pertussis (whooping cough), and tetanus.

How Does the Flu Vaccine Work?

Have you ever wondered exactly how a flu shot helps to protect you from getting the flu? It all comes down to how your immune system reacts to the vaccine. Seasonal flu shots contain weakened or inactive versions of the flu strains that are expected to be most common that year. When you receive a flu shot, your immune system reacts by producing antibodies designed to destroy each flu strain contained in the vaccine. In the event that you’re exposed to one of these strains again in the future, your immune system will be better equipped to quickly recognize it and produce the correct antibodies, thereby minimizing your chances of becoming ill with the flu.

This was the fastest, easiest, and best doctor's visit. The provider was extremely kind and helpful. I explained my symptoms, the provider asked a few followup questions, and then she issued a script. I will absolutely be using this service again and would recommend to anyone.
