Call (385) 265-6060 to schedule or check vaccine availability.
What Immunizations Does Dr. Oldham Provide?
Dr. Oldham administers the full range of CDC-recommended vaccines for children, adolescents, and adults at the Spanish Fork office. Childhood vaccines stocked include DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis), IPV (polio), MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), varicella (chickenpox), hepatitis A, hepatitis B, Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b), PCV15/PCV20 (pneumococcal), and rotavirus. Adolescent and adult vaccines include Tdap booster, HPV (human papillomavirus), meningococcal ACWY and B, annual influenza, COVID-19, pneumococcal (PPSV23 and PCV20 for adults 65+), and Shingrix (recombinant zoster vaccine for adults 50+). Dr. Oldham follows the CDC immunization schedule exactly and tracks each patient’s vaccine history in the chart so catch-up doses are identified at every visit.
Dr. Oldham combines immunizations with well-child visits and annual physicals whenever possible, completing the recommended schedule in fewer total office visits. We hear from Spanish Fork parents that their biggest concern about childhood vaccinations is the number of appointments required. Dr. Oldham’s team typically combines immunizations with well-child checkups, completing the recommended CDC schedule in 6-8 visits instead of 12+ separate trips.
What Is the Childhood Immunization Schedule?
The CDC childhood immunization schedule begins at birth (hepatitis B, dose 1) and continues through age 18 with vaccines given at specific intervals to build immunity during the periods of highest vulnerability. Dr. Oldham follows this schedule at the Spanish Fork office and documents every dose in the state immunization registry (USIIS) so records are accessible to schools and other providers. The table below summarizes the major vaccine milestones.
| Age | Vaccines |
|---|---|
| Birth | Hepatitis B (dose 1) |
| 2 months | DTaP, IPV, Hib, PCV, Rotavirus, Hep B (dose 2) |
| 4 months | DTaP, IPV, Hib, PCV, Rotavirus |
| 6 months | DTaP, PCV, Hep B (dose 3), Flu (annually from 6 months) |
| 12-15 months | MMR (dose 1), Varicella (dose 1), Hep A (dose 1), PCV booster, Hib booster |
| 4-6 years | DTaP booster, IPV booster, MMR (dose 2), Varicella (dose 2) |
| 11-12 years | Tdap, HPV (2-dose series), Meningococcal ACWY |
| 16 years | Meningococcal ACWY booster |
What Vaccines Do Adults Need?
Adults need vaccines beyond the childhood series, and many are behind without realizing it. Dr. Oldham reviews adult immunization status at every annual physical and recommends vaccines based on the CDC adult immunization schedule, age, health conditions, and occupation. Every adult needs an annual influenza vaccine and an updated COVID-19 vaccine. Adults who didn’t receive a Tdap booster in the last 10 years need one, and pregnant women should receive Tdap during each pregnancy (27-36 weeks) to pass pertussis antibodies to the newborn. Adults aged 50 and older are recommended to receive the two-dose Shingrix series for shingles prevention. Adults aged 65 and older need pneumococcal vaccination (PCV20 or PCV15 followed by PPSV23). HPV vaccine is recommended through age 26 for anyone not previously vaccinated, with shared decision-making for ages 27-45.
Dr. Oldham has found that the most common gap in adult immunization records in Spanish Fork is the Tdap booster and the shingles vaccine. Many adults assume childhood vaccines provide lifelong protection, but tetanus and pertussis immunity wanes and requires boosting every 10 years.
Does Dr. Oldham Offer Catch-Up Immunizations?
Dr. Oldham provides catch-up immunization schedules for children and adults who are behind on any CDC-recommended vaccine. The CDC publishes a specific catch-up schedule that compresses missed doses into the shortest safe intervals, and Dr. Oldham follows it to bring patients up to date as quickly as possible. Catch-up is common for families who have moved from another state or country and don’t have complete records, for adolescents entering middle school or college who need documentation, and for adults who were never vaccinated for hepatitis B, MMR, or varicella. Dr. Oldham can check the Utah State Immunization Information System (USIIS) for records from other Utah providers, reducing unnecessary repeat doses.
Dr. Oldham also administers travel vaccines and occupation-required vaccines (hepatitis B series for healthcare workers, meningococcal B for college dormitory residents) and provides documentation for school enrollment, college entry, and mission health forms.
Are Vaccines Safe?
Vaccines are among the most studied medical interventions in history, with safety data spanning decades and billions of administered doses. The CDC’s vaccine safety monitoring system (VAERS, VSD, and CISA) continuously tracks adverse events across the entire U.S. population. Common side effects, which Dr. Oldham discusses with every patient or parent before administration, include injection site soreness (lasting 1-2 days), low-grade fever (especially after DTaP and PCV in infants), and mild fatigue. Serious adverse events are extremely rare: the rate of anaphylaxis is approximately 1 per million doses, and the office stocks epinephrine and monitors patients for 15 minutes after injection per CDC protocol.
Dr. Oldham, a board-certified DO with training in osteopathic medicine, approaches vaccine conversations with evidence and patience. When parents have concerns, Dr. Oldham walks through the specific vaccine data, explains what each vaccine prevents, and discusses the real risks of the diseases the vaccine targets. The conversation is two-directional, not a lecture.
What Vaccines Does Dr. Oldham Recommend During Pregnancy?
Dr. Oldham recommends two vaccines during pregnancy: the Tdap vaccine (given at 27-36 weeks of each pregnancy) and the annual influenza vaccine (given at any point during pregnancy). Tdap administered in the third trimester passes pertussis antibodies to the newborn, providing protection during the first two months of life before the infant receives their own DTaP series. The flu vaccine protects the mother (pregnant women are at higher risk for severe influenza complications) and provides passive immunity to the newborn. Both vaccines are supported by strong safety data in pregnancy and are recommended by ACOG and the CDC. Dr. Oldham administers both during regular prenatal visits, so no separate vaccine appointment is needed.
RSV vaccine (Abrysvo) is also now recommended during pregnancy at 32-36 weeks gestation during RSV season (September through January) to protect the newborn against RSV bronchiolitis. Dr. Oldham discusses timing and availability with pregnant patients during third-trimester visits.
Does Insurance Cover Immunizations?
Under the ACA, all ACIP-recommended vaccines are covered at no cost to the patient when administered by an in-network provider. Dr. Oldham’s office accepts 30+ insurance plans and the front desk verifies vaccine coverage before the visit. The Vaccines for Children (VFC) program provides federally funded vaccines at no cost for children who are uninsured, Medicaid-eligible, or American Indian/Alaska Native. Medicare Part D covers the shingles vaccine (Shingrix), and Medicare Part B covers flu, COVID-19, and pneumococcal vaccines. Self-pay patients can call the office for current vaccine pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Immunizations
Can my child get multiple vaccines at one visit?
Yes. The CDC schedule is designed for combination administration. Dr. Oldham routinely gives multiple vaccines at a single well-child visit, which is safe and reduces the total number of office visits needed.
What if I don’t have my child’s vaccine records?
Dr. Oldham can check the Utah State Immunization Information System (USIIS) for doses given by other Utah providers. For doses given out of state, bring any available records and Dr. Oldham will create a catch-up plan.
Does Dr. Oldham offer flu shots?
Yes. The office stocks annual influenza vaccine each fall for patients six months and older. No appointment is needed for established patients during flu shot clinics; call the office for clinic dates and hours.
At what age should my child get the HPV vaccine?
The CDC recommends HPV vaccination at age 11-12 as a two-dose series (given 6-12 months apart). Starting before age 15 requires only two doses; starting at 15 or older requires three doses.
Do adults need a shingles vaccine?
The CDC recommends Shingrix (two-dose series) for adults 50 and older, even if they had chickenpox or the older Zostavax vaccine. Shingrix is over 90% effective at preventing shingles and postherpetic neuralgia.
