Immunizations

At Ramtown Pharmacy, we know how important it is to keep your family protected from preventable diseases. That’s why we offer a full range of immunizations to ensure the health and safety of you and your loved ones. With our family-focused and modern approach, we make it easy to stay up to date on vaccines right here in Howell, NJ. Our goal is to provide personalized care that fits into your busy schedule, whether it’s a routine flu shot or a travel vaccine before your next big trip.

Immunizations We Offer at Ramtown Pharmacy:

  • Flu Vaccine (Offered Seasonally): Protect yourself and your family from the seasonal flu. Offered annually, this is one of the most effective ways to prevent flu-related illnesses and hospitalizations.

  • Shingles Vaccine: Recommended for adults 50 and older, the shingles vaccine helps protect against the painful condition caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus.

  • Pneumonia Vaccine: Especially important for older adults and those with chronic conditions, this vaccine provides protection from serious lung infections.

  • COVID-19 Vaccine & Boosters (Offered Sesonally) : Stay up to date with the latest COVID-19 vaccines and boosters to reduce the risk of severe illness.

  • HPV Vaccine: Protects against the human papillomavirus, which can lead to certain types of cancer. Recommended for teens and young adults.

  • Hepatitis A and B: Hepatitis A and B vaccines protect against viruses that cause serious liver infections. Hepatitis A is typically spread through contaminated food or water, while Hepatitis B is spread through blood or other bodily fluids. These vaccines are particularly important for travelers and healthcare workers.

  • Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR): The MMR vaccine offers protection from three highly contagious viruses. Measles can cause severe respiratory infections, mumps can lead to swollen glands and complications, and rubella can be dangerous, especially for pregnant women. This vaccine is essential for children and adults who haven’t been immunized.

  • Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis): This vaccine provides protection against three serious diseases. Tetanus can cause painful muscle stiffness, diphtheria can block airways, and pertussis (whooping cough) can lead to severe coughing fits, especially dangerous for babies. Tdap is recommended for all adults and pregnant women during each pregnancy.

  • Meningococcal Vaccine: Protects against meningococcal disease, a serious bacterial infection that can cause meningitis (inflammation of the lining around the brain and spinal cord). This vaccine is particularly important for teens, young adults, and anyone at increased risk due to travel or certain medical conditions.

  • Travel Vaccines: Essential for travelers visiting areas where certain diseases are more common. Travel vaccines, such as those for Hepatitis A, typhoid, yellow fever, and more, help ensure that you stay protected from preventable illnesses while abroad. Be sure to consult with us early, as some vaccines require weeks to take full effect.

Protect Your Family with Routine Vaccines

  • Staying current on vaccines is a key part of keeping your family healthy year-round. From flu season to childhood immunizations, we offer all the vaccines recommended for different stages of life. Our trained pharmacists can administer vaccines for adults, seniors, and children, making it convenient to get everyone in the family covered in one stop. We also provide clear guidance on when to get boosters and updates so you’re never behind on essential protection.

Travel Vaccines: Stay Protected While You Explore

  • When planning a trip abroad, it’s easy to overlook the importance of travel vaccines, but they are essential to safeguarding your health while you're away. At Ramtown Pharmacy, we offer a wide range of travel vaccines to ensure you’re protected from diseases that are common in certain parts of the world. Based on your travel destination and planned activities, we’ll recommend the vaccines and medications you need for a safe and healthy trip. It’s best to schedule your vaccines several weeks before your departure, as some vaccines require time to take full effect.

    Key travel vaccines include:

  • Hepatitis A and B

  • Typhoid

  • Yellow Fever

  • Malaria Prevention Medications

  • Japanese Encephalitis

  • Cholera

  • Rabies

  • Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR)

  • Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap)

When to Get a Travel Vaccination

  • Planning ahead is crucial when it comes to travel vaccines. Ideally, you should schedule your travel vaccinations 4 to 6 weeks before your departure. This gives your body enough time to develop full immunity and allows for any vaccines that require multiple doses to be administered in the correct sequence.

    Some vaccines, such as those for yellow fever or typhoid, need time to become effective, while others, like Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B, might require several doses spaced over weeks. If you’re traveling to areas where diseases like malaria or Japanese encephalitis are a concern, our pharmacists can help you understand what’s needed and when to start the vaccination process.

    Even if you're booking a last-minute trip, it’s still important to get vaccinated. Some protection is better than none, and we can also provide other health tips and medications, such as antimalarial tablets or travelers' diarrhea prevention.
