Melissa Sterns Immunization-Certified Pharmacist

Our pharmacy is a convenient local source for vaccine advocacy, education, and administration. Our professional staff includes three pharmacists who are specialists certified in Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery. This training has provided our pharmacists with knowledge about all vaccine preventable illnesses and the immunization schedules for children and adults, as well as expertise in vaccine administration.

Our immunization professionals can:

• Formulate immunizations plans for adults based on age, gender, past medical history, immunization records, and lifestyle factors (including travel itineraries).
• Evaluate current vaccine status for children and recommend appropriate immunizations using current vaccine schedules.
• Administer vaccines in the pharmacy under protocol (without prescription) for all adults and children over age 14, and with a valid physician’s prescription for children under age 14.
• Bill Medicare for certain eligible vaccinations.

We can administer several immunizations in the pharmacy, including but not limited to influenza, H1N1, pneumococcal, shingles, HPV, tetanus and combinations, hepatitis B, and meningococcal vaccines. Some vaccines are in current stock and others can be obtained through special order. Contact one of our immunizing pharmacist professionals at (512) 442-6777 to discuss your vaccine needs and to schedule an appointment for administration.
