Vaccines lower your risk of serious illness from diseases like influenza, tetanus and whooping cough. Urgent Care Center of Westmont, also known as Immediate Care Center of Westmont, gives immunizations to children and adults on a walk-in basis in Westmont, IL. Our team is led by board-certified physicians.
Vaccine supply can change during the year. Before you come in for a specific shot, please call (630) 324-6825 to confirm we have it. Then walk in or reserve your spot with online check-in.
The CDC publishes a yearly immunization schedule for adults and another for children and teens. Which shots you need depends on your age, health, pregnancy, job and travel plans. Common requests include:
Other adult vaccines, such as shingles and pneumococcal vaccines, are recommended at certain ages or for certain health conditions. Ask us whether they apply to you.
First, we check your age, health history, allergies and any past reactions to vaccines. If you have a vaccine record, bring it. We compare it with the current CDC schedule and explain which vaccines are due.
Next, a member of our team gives the shot and records it. We give you written information about each vaccine, and we ask you to stay a short time afterward so we can watch for a reaction. We can also give you a record of what you received for school, work or your own files.
Most side effects are mild and short-lived, such as a sore arm, redness at the shot site, tiredness or a low fever. Call us or your doctor if something worries you.
Severe allergic reactions are rare, but they are an emergency. Call 911 if you or your child has trouble breathing, swelling of the face or throat, hives spreading over the body, a fast heartbeat, dizziness or weakness after a shot.
MedlinePlus also lists severe chest pain, sudden weakness on one side of the body and seizures as reasons to call 911. Go to the nearest emergency room for any symptom that could be life-threatening.
