Because my doctor's office is not open all week, I have used the services of Salem Health Urgent Care several times. Until the COVID pandemic, I know they took walkins but I found that by making an appointment my wait time was never more than 5 mins. From the receptionist to the doctors/nurse practioners to the lab staff all have all been professional and spent the time to make a thorough exam and explain my recommended treatment. Prescriptions were promptly sent to my pharmacy so they were ready when I got there. I love my own doctor but having this urgent care there when he is not available and not having to go to the emergency room for help is a great relief and I appreciate each and everyone that works there.

Always a pleasant experience. I recommend this clinic to anyone. My girls have been going there since birth and are now graduating. My senior from last year didn't want to get a new doctor and go elsewhere. Great customer service and doctors and nurses.

Short Wait Time

On vacation I experienced fever and chills, looked up urgent care in Salem OR. This was rated the highest. While I thought I had strep throat, swab came out negatively so the PA stated that I had a virus. However, I walked out with a bag full of items to help with feeling sick. She said the swab will get sent to a lab, if it comes out positive she'll call me to get the name of a pharmacy for antibiotics.

About Tetanus Shots

A tetanus shot is used to prevent tetanus, also known as lockjaw. Tetanus is a bacterial infection that can lead to painful muscle spasms, and oftentimes, death. Adults in the US have to be vaccinated against tetanus because there's currently no cure for it and roughly 10 to 20 percent of victims die from tetanus. Symptoms of tetanus come from a toxin produced by tetanus bacteria and usually begin appearing about a week after the infection occurs. The most common symptom is muscle stiffness that begins in the jaw and spreads to the neck, arms, legs, or abdomen, but other symptoms include trouble swallowing, headache, fever and sweating, irritability and restlessness, high blood pressure, palpitations, and muscle spasms in the face.

It's important to get treated for tetanus as soon as you know you're infected because if it's not treated quickly enough, you can die from suffocation. Tetanus shots are given in the shoulder muscle. If you've never had a tetanus shot before, you might be given a three-dose primary series. You'll get the first dose as a three-in-one combination called Tdap that prevents tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), and diphtheria (Td). The other two doses will usually be a dual vaccine and you'll receive them over a 7 to 12 month period. You should receive a tetanus vaccine between 2 months and 6 years old, as well as a teenager and an adult. Pregnant women might need a tetanus shot during the third trimester of pregnancy.
