Vaccinations for Adults at Pandora Family Medicine

We stock and administer the vaccines recommended for adults by the CDC, including flu, Tdap, shingles (Shingrix), pneumococcal, hepatitis A and B, MMR, varicella, HPV, meningococcal, and COVID-19. If you're not sure what you're due for, we'll look at your records and go from there.

A lot of adults skip vaccines because they don't know where to go. You don't need a special appointment here. If you're coming in for a physical, a follow-up, or any other visit, we can administer vaccines the same day. One trip.

If you've lost your vaccination records, we can do immunity testing (titers) to check what protection you already have before giving anything new. No guesswork, no repeating vaccines you've already had.

1. 1

   Titer testing when records are incomplete

   If your records are missing or you're unsure whether a vaccine series was completed, we can draw a titer test, a simple blood test that measures your immunity. If the titer confirms you're already immune, you don't need the vaccine. We draw blood in our office, so there's no separate lab visit.

2. 2

   If something turns up

   A positive tuberculosis blood test, for example, usually means a chest X-ray, not a denial. We explain what it means, arrange what is needed, and complete the form when it is done. You are never left guessing.

3. 3

   Stay current with a simple reminder

   Some vaccines need a booster after a few years. Others are one-time. We keep track of what you've had and let you know when something is due, so you're not left guessing. No separate pharmacy trip, no digging through old records. It's just part of being an established patient here.

We know the timeline matters. Many patients are working against an interview date or a request for evidence, and we schedule and process exams with that in mind. The exam is a flat fee quoted before you book; blood tests and vaccines are itemized and added only if you need them, so there are no surprise costs.

Traveling internationally? We can review your destination-specific vaccine recommendations and administer what's needed before you go. Common travel vaccines we offer include hepatitis A, hepatitis B, typhoid, and others depending on where you're headed.

Flu shots are available every fall for established patients and new patients alike. If you're coming in for any visit during flu season, ask and we'll take care of it the same day.

Not sure what you need for a trip? Call the office or bring it up at your next visit. We'll look at your itinerary and your records together.

Most preventive vaccines recommended by the CDC are covered at no cost to you under most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. We bill insurance directly for covered vaccines. If a vaccine isn't covered or you're paying out of pocket, we'll tell you the cost before we give anything.

For immigration exam vaccines specifically, coverage varies. Some are billed through insurance; others may be a cash-pay cost depending on your plan. We quote costs transparently before your appointment so there are no surprises. If you have questions about what your plan covers, call us and we'll help you sort it out before you book.

Our office is at 6300 Baltimore Ave, University Park, MD 20782, on Route 1 between Hyattsville and College Park. We're easy to reach from across Prince George's County and the DC metro area.

We see patients from throughout the region for both routine adult vaccinations and immigration exam vaccines. Same-week appointments are usually available.
