Primary care doc question

**JAB1** · 07-25-2013, 01:25 PM

Question for you guys. I have not had a primary care doc for years. I am the type to go to emergency when injured or sick, otherwise I dont go to doctors. Well my wife has been hounding me for a while to get a primary care doc. Now she is pregnant and I need to get a vaccine for whooping cough prior to baby being born. She is urging me to set up initial appointment with a primary doc and get the vaccine. I am on cycle. If I go in for first appointment and vaccine will they take bloodwork. I dont want to do that for obvious reasons, but need to get vaccine. I am unsure what the setup with primary will be, I just assume they will want to get a full scope of my health to establish me as a patient.....Advice appriciated! Also anyone familiar with this vaccine and can I just go to pharmacy/clinic to get it? Thanks guys. Before flaming I will obviously drop cycle, let system clear and get to docs to get it prior to baby if that is my only choice!

I think some of the cvs clinics will do it. Give it a shot! If not call an urgent care to inquire as I've seen signs for vaccinations when I drive by.

I know walgreens also has this vaccination. You may also want to try the county healt dept., or a walk in clinic as well.

Make sure the baby gets it too! (Not at walgreen's)

Don't get vaccines... Ever, I almost died from a flu shot. They put mercury in almost all vaccines.

Perfect. Thanks guys Ill check out pharmacies or a urgent care. No choice on getting the shot, gotta compromise with some things. I don't think opposing the vaccine while shooting ugl in my ass is going to fly with the wife!!!

Quit taking medical advice from Jenny McCarthy.

Its no biggie I had to get mine last year too when the wife was pregnant. Its standard protocol for us guys to get that vaccine.

Are you currently wearing a hat made of tin foil, by any chance?

Vaccines are the reason why we aren't all dying of diseases like tuberculosis, smallpox, and polio. A few adverse reaction cases (even though most of them are BS) are a small price to pay for protection against pandemics.

You will be ok you choose your primary doctor and get your shot!! it's not like your going in for a physical!? I do it all the time I just give them the good shoulder and smile at the nurse injecting because she says you must work out lol
