Great first experience. The only issue I have is that no one there answers the phone. We got a prescription sent to a pharmacy (our standard one) and the pharmacy didn’t have it in stock. Because carbon health does not answer the phone, where I could have had them submit the scrip to a new pharmacy, I needed to be the middle person on a wild goose chase between the pharmacy that didn’t have the medication and one that did. This is a very stressful position to be in as a parent with a very sick kid who desperately needs medicine. Other than that one component, I was happy with the experience. I reflected my disappointment under “staff friendliness”, as I wasn’t sure where else to put it. Staff wasn’t unfriendly, they just didn’t answer the phone.

I went in with flu like symptoms. I was curious if I had Covid but did not get tested.  I could have spoke up for a desire for a test, but my preference would have been that the test would be automatically given.

Wait time was unexpectedly long!  I was there for one hour and 15 mins for an EKG the order was sent the day before so that was not the problem. Was called 15 mins after my scheduled appt and there was only one other person in the waiting room when I was called. Also when I arrived there was one person ahead of me.  Provider was very good and staff friendly. The assistant who who performed the EKG was great knowledge about the procedure. After the procedure I had a wait again another 15 mins.

My husband & I tested positive for COVID this AM. We both were able to very conveniently make online appointments for medical evaluations within 30 minutes of our requests. The UC Village-Albany Urgent Care clinic is modern and attractive with highly efficient, very welcoming, friendly, professional & personable administrative and medical staffs. All of the medical personnel have very kind and empathetic bedside manners and listened very well to (and heard!) and were responsive to our medical concerns and questions. We both were in and out of our appointments within 30 minutes. We are very appreciative and truly grateful to have your clinic so conveniently located near our home. Please keep up the great work!

After visiting Carbon about 10 days ago for an ear canal that was clogged with wax, my symptoms returned (ear pain, moist discharge from the ear canal.) So, unable to get an appointment with my PCP, I scheduled an appointment at Carbon. This time a different doctor saw me. As soon as she entered the room and asked me what was going on and learned that I had been using carbon oxide drops to try and re-clear my ear, she berated me and told me that I should not do that. She berated me over and over, like I was a stupid person, which put me off guard and had the effect of shutting me up. Then she looked in my ears and pronounced me to be healthy… nothing wrong. It felt like she wanted to be done with me. I told her that I had pain in my ear (to which she interrupted “take Advil”) and that every morning I woke up with a moist and slightly not nice smelling moist discharge coming from my ear. I asked if this is something that could be solved with antibiotics or steroids. She said she could give me prednisone “if I wanted” as if I would be the one to make the prescribing decision. Then I told her about the discharge and she said that she could give me some antibiotic drops, and that I should take Guifenesen. The doctor made very little effort to understand my issue and symptoms, and she had a pretty awful bedside manner. I would not want to see this doctor again. I left having zero sense of resolution, and zero confidence in the treatment plan she gave me. I guess I will try to see my PCP or go to an ENT. This was an awful waste of time and money. She prescribed antibiotic ear drops, and did not prescribe the prednisone.

Wait time was good, got in at 1:40pm for my 1:30pm appointment. Staff was friendly and explained things to me. I did kind of get the impression that they were tired of me because I was trying to ask clarifying questions to make sure that later on I will not be thinking about the questions I was afraid to ask :P. It’s very easy for me to just accept what I’m told, and not ask anything, but I’m trying to learn to advocate for myself because it seems like that’s what is needed in healthcare. But I could tell they were definitely getting tired of me asking my dumb questions and just repeating answers they already gave because I was obviously didn’t hear it the first time. I probably need to work on my communication skills because I don’t feel like either of us felt like we were getting through to the other person. It felt like we both felt like we knew what the other person was saying and that they just weren’t willing to hear it.

The online scheduling was easy with the time slot availability shown. The hour is great, open later than others in the area, avoided going to ER. I arrived & check-in was smooth & no wait. Aria looked over my wound & stitch up the cut, & the support staff was friendly & professional. I barely felt it during the process, & she periodically reminded me if too painful, she can numb more. Great facility!

About Vaccines

Vaccines play a critical role in public health by preventing infectious diseases, reducing outbreaks, and protecting vulnerable populations like children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. Vaccines have been designed for various viruses and bacteria to safeguard individuals and their communities, reducing healthcare costs and disease burdens while promoting long-term societal well-being through herd immunity.

Most common vaccines in Woodacre

More than 30 vaccines have been developed to protect humans from disease, each by stimulating the immune system to recognize and fight specific infections. Not all of these, however, are commonly available, particularly at urgent care centers or even through your primary care provider. Below are some of the most widely used vaccines that you could likely find in or around Woodacre.

Flu shots

Flu shots are a seasonal vaccine that protect against influenza, a highly contagious virus that can cause serious illness and even death. The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older get vaccinated annually, as flu viruses change each year and immune protection wanes over time. Flu symptoms include fever, coughing, sore throat, body aches, fatigue, and, in some cases, vomiting or diarrhea. The vaccine can reduce the severity of illness, particularly in high-risk groups such as infants, the elderly, and those with chronic conditions. The flu shot is available in two forms: an injection and a nasal spray, with most people opting for the injection. While side effects may mimic mild flu-like symptoms, the vaccine cannot give you the flu.

Flu Shot FAQs

1. Can I get a flu shot at an urgent care center?

Yes, many urgent care centers offer flu shots. You can book same-day appointments through Solv or walk in, though scheduling an appointment may reduce wait times.

2. How much does a flu shot cost?

Flu shots can cost between $0 and $50 depending on your insurance coverage. Most insurance plans cover the vaccine, so check with your provider for specific details.

3. When should I get my flu shot?

The CDC recommends getting your flu shot in September or October, but vaccines are available as early as August. Urgent care centers typically offer extended hours, making it easy to get vaccinated after work or on weekends

COVID vaccine

The 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccines, including Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Novavax, are recommended for everyone ages 6 months and older to protect against severe illness, hospitalization, and death. Staying up to date is crucial because vaccine protection decreases over time. The vaccines are updated to target the latest circulating strains, ensuring the best defense. Vaccination is especially important for individuals at higher risk, such as those aged 65 and older, people with underlying health conditions, pregnant individuals, and those in long-term care facilities. Common side effects are generally mild, such as soreness, fatigue, fever, and headache, but typically resolve quickly.

COVID vaccine FAQs

1. Who should get the COVID-19 vaccine?

Everyone aged 6 months and older should receive the 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine to reduce the risk of severe disease and complications.

2. Is the COVID-19 vaccine safe?

Yes, these vaccines have undergone the most extensive safety monitoring in U.S. history and meet FDA safety standards.

<3. How long does the vaccine’s protection last?

COVID-19 vaccine protection decreases over time, making it important to stay up to date with your vaccines for continued protection against severe illness.

Tetanus shot

A tetanus vaccine protects against tetanus, a serious bacterial infection that causes painful muscle spasms, often starting in the jaw (lockjaw). If untreated, tetanus can lead to death in 10-20% of cases. Tetanus bacteria typically enter the body through cuts or wounds, and symptoms usually appear about a week after infection. Common symptoms include muscle stiffness, difficulty swallowing, headache, fever, and spasms. Since there is no cure, tetanus vaccination is essential. The first dose, usually given in childhood, is a combination vaccine called Tdap, which also protects against diphtheria and pertussis. Booster doses are required throughout life, especially for adults. Pregnant women may also need a shot during the third trimester.

Tetanus Shot FAQs

1. Where can I get a tetanus shot in Woodacre?

Tetanus shots are usually available at urgent care centers, retail clinics, and pharmacies.

2. How much does a tetanus shot cost?

The out-of-pocket cost for a tetanus shot typically ranges from $25 to $60, with the exact amount varying based on your location and the provider you select for the vaccination.

3. Who should get a tetanus shot?

Children should get vaccinated between 2 months and 6 years old, with booster shots as a teenager and adult. Adults exposed to tetanus (e.g., through injuries) should seek immediate vaccination.

Chickenpox vaccine

The chickenpox vaccine, also known as the varicella vaccine, helps prevent chickenpox, a highly contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus. Chickenpox presents as an itchy, blister-like rash, typically starting on the chest, back, and face, and is often accompanied by fever and fatigue. The CDC recommends two doses of the vaccine for children, teens, and adults who have never had chickenpox or been vaccinated. The vaccine is about 90% effective, significantly reducing the risk of infection. Those especially encouraged to get vaccinated include healthcare workers, teachers, and international travelers. Two vaccine options are available: Varivax® (for chickenpox only) and ProQuad® (which also includes vaccines for measles, mumps, and rubella). Most health insurance plans cover the vaccine, and programs like Vaccines for Children (VFC) may assist those without coverage.

Chickenpox vaccine FAQs

1. Can I get a chickenpox vaccine at an urgent care center?

Yes, many urgent care centers offer chickenpox vaccines. You can book a same-day appointment online or visit a center, but scheduling in advance can reduce your wait time.

2. How much does the chickenpox vaccine cost?

Varivax (the varicella vaccine) can range from $50 to $250 depending on your insurance and where you get the vaccine. Your health insurance may even cover it. It’s best to confirm with your provider beforehand.

3. When should my child receive the chickenpox vaccine?

Children should receive their first dose between 12-15 months and a second dose between ages 4-6. If they miss this window, two doses spaced 28 days apart are recommended for anyone over 13.

Shingles vaccine

The shingles vaccine helps prevent shingles, a painful skin rash caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, which also causes chickenpox. Shingles can lead to severe complications like long-term nerve pain. The CDC recommends two doses of the Shingrix vaccine for adults 50 years and older and those 19 and up with weakened immune systems. The vaccine is over 90% effective in preventing shingles and related complications. Common side effects include soreness at the injection site, fatigue, and muscle pain, but the vaccine cannot cause shingles. Most health insurance plans, including Medicare Part D, cover the shingles vaccine. People who have had chickenpox or shingles before are still advised to get vaccinated, as it can prevent future outbreaks or reduce their severity.

Shingles vaccine FAQs

1. Where can I get a shingles vaccine in Woodacre?

Many urgent care centers offer the shingles vaccine, as well as primary care providers and even retail clinics. You can book same-day or next-day appointments online through Solv for faster service.

2. How much does the shingles vaccine cost?

Without insurance, the shingles vaccine can cost as much as $200 to $250. Check with your insurance provider for coverage details, or call your provider if you are paying cash.

3. Who should get the shingles vaccine?

The CDC recommends the shingles vaccine for adults 50 and older, and those 19+ with weakened immune systems. Even those who’ve had shingles or chickenpox should be vaccinated.

Measles vaccine

The measles vaccine, typically administered as part of the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine, is crucial in preventing measles—a highly contagious and serious viral infection. Measles symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a characteristic rash. The disease can lead to severe complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis, and death, particularly in young children. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that measles vaccination averted 57 million deaths between 2000 and 2022, but in 2022, there were still 136,000 measles-related deaths globally, mostly among unvaccinated children. The vaccine is highly effective, with one dose providing 93% protection and two doses boosting protection to 97%. Routine vaccination, typically administered at 12-15 months with a booster at 4-6 years, remains essential to controlling and eliminating measles worldwide.

Measles vaccine FAQs

1. Where can I get a measles vaccine in Woodacre?

Measles vaccines are usually available at urgent care centers, retail clinics, primary care offices, and pharmacies. Booking online reduces wait times.

2. How much does the measles vaccine cost?

Without insurance, a measles vaccine typically costs between $50 and $150, depending on the clinic. Check for insurance coverage before your appointment.

3. Who should get a measles vaccine?

Children should receive the measles vaccine as part of the MMR schedule at 12-15 months and again at 4-6 years. Unvaccinated adults, healthcare workers, and international travelers should also ensure they are vaccinated.

Hepatitis vaccine

The hepatitis vaccine protects against infections caused by hepatitis A and B viruses, which can lead to severe liver damage and even death. Hepatitis A spreads through close person-to-person contact, while hepatitis B spreads through bodily fluids, such as blood, saliva, and semen. The CDC recommends the combination vaccine for adults over 18 who are at risk due to their profession, lifestyle, or travel to high-risk areas like Southeast Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. High-risk groups include healthcare workers, drug users, those involved in high-risk sexual activities, and individuals with chronic liver conditions. Two doses are needed for the hepatitis A vaccine and three doses for the hepatitis B vaccine. Most health insurance plans cover these vaccines.

Hepatitis vaccine FAQs

1. Can I get a hepatitis vaccine at an urgent care center?

Yes, most urgent care centers near Woodacre offer hepatitis vaccines. You can book same-day appointments or walk in, but scheduling online may reduce wait times.

2. How much does a hepatitis vaccine cost at urgent care?

Without insurance, the hepatitis vaccine can cost between $50 and $150 for adults. Many insurance plans cover the cost, so check with your provider.

Yellow fever vaccine

The yellow fever vaccine is crucial for protecting against yellow fever, a viral infection transmitted by infected mosquitoes. Yellow fever is prevalent in regions like South America and sub-Saharan Africa. The virus can cause severe illness, with symptoms ranging from fever and muscle pain to liver and kidney failure in severe cases. The vaccine is recommended for individuals aged nine months to 59 years who are traveling to or living in areas where yellow fever is common. Some countries require proof of vaccination for entry. The vaccine offers lifelong protection, and travelers are advised to get vaccinated at least 10 days before departure. Additional preventive measures include using EPA-approved insect repellents, wearing long-sleeved clothing, and staying indoors where there are screens or air conditioning.

Yellow fever vaccine FAQs

1. Can I get a yellow fever vaccine at an urgent care?

Yes, many urgent care centers offer yellow fever vaccines. You can also check with your primary care provider, pharmacies, or local travel clinics.

2. How much does the yellow fever vaccine cost at urgent care?

Without insurance, the vaccine can cost between $150 and $350. Some insurance plans may cover part of the cost if it includes preventive care benefits.

3. Who should get the yellow fever vaccine?

Anyone over 9 months old who plans to travel to or live in yellow fever-prone regions, such as parts of South America or Africa, should receive the vaccine at least 10 days before travel.

Typhoid vaccine

The typhoid vaccine protects against typhoid fever, a life-threatening infection caused by Salmonella Typhi, often contracted through contaminated food or water. Typhoid fever is common in regions with poor sanitation, such as parts of Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Symptoms include high fever, weakness, stomach pain, and headache. The CDC recommends two types of vaccines: an inactivated injectable vaccine for people over 2 years old and a live oral vaccine for those over 6 years old. Travelers to endemic regions, people in close contact with a carrier, and lab workers handling Salmonella Typhi are advised to get vaccinated. The injectable vaccine requires a booster every two years, while the oral vaccine requires a booster every five years. The vaccine reduces, but does not eliminate, the risk of typhoid infection, so maintaining food and water safety measures is essential.

Typhoid vaccine FAQs

1. Where can I get a typhoid vaccine in Woodacre?

Typhoid vaccines are sometimes available at urgent care centers, travel clinics, and pharmacies. Call your provider before your visit to confirm availability.

2. How much does a typhoid vaccine cost?

Without insurance, a typhoid vaccine generally ranges from $125 to $200, depending on the type of vaccine. Check with your provider for specific coverage.

3. Who should get the typhoid vaccine?

Travelers to endemic regions, close contacts of typhoid carriers, and lab workers handling Salmonella Typhi should get vaccinated. Both oral and injectable options are available.
