Immunizations & Vaccines in Idaho Falls
We respect that every patient and every family is different. Our providers are happy to answer your questions, discuss any concerns, and help you make an informed decision about vaccinations.
What We Offer
Immunizations Offered at Ridgeline Medical
At Ridgeline Medical we currently offer two immunizations at our clinic:
Tdap: Tetanus, Diphtheria & Pertussis (Whooping Cough)
The Tdap vaccine protects against three bacterial infections. Tetanus (lockjaw) can cause painful muscle stiffness and spasms. Diphtheria is a serious throat infection that can block the airway. Pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough, spreads easily and can be especially dangerous for infants and older adults. A Tdap booster is recommended for adolescents, adults, and is particularly important during pregnancy. If it has been more than 10 years since your last booster, talk to your provider about whether you’re due.
Influenza: Annual Flu Vaccine
The seasonal flu vaccine is updated each year to match circulating strains of influenza. The CDC recommends annual flu vaccination for everyone 6 months and older. Walk in for your flu shot any time we’re open. Getting vaccinated not only reduces your risk of illness but also helps protect those around you, including young children, elderly family members, and people with compromised immune systems, who may be more vulnerable to serious complications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Vaccine Questions Answered for Idaho Falls
Have questions about immunizations at Ridgeline Medical? Here are answers to the most common questions from patients in Idaho Falls.
Where can I get vaccinations in Idaho Falls?
Ridgeline Medical offers vaccinations at our Idaho Falls location. You can walk in or call us at 208-715-9990 to schedule an appointment. We currently offer the Tdap and annual influenza vaccines at our clinic, and can direct you to additional resources for vaccines we don’t currently carry.
Do I need an appointment for a vaccine at Ridgeline Medical?
No appointment is required. We welcome walk-ins at our Idaho Falls location. If you prefer an appointment, call or text to book today.
Which vaccines does Ridgeline Medical currently offer?
We currently offer two vaccines at our clinic: the Tdap vaccine (Tetanus, Diphtheria & Pertussis) and the annual influenza (flu) vaccine. If you need other vaccinations, our providers are happy to review your records and refer you to the appropriate resource.
Who should get the Tdap vaccine?
The CDC recommends the Tdap vaccine for adolescents around age 11–12, and a booster for adults who have not previously received one. It is especially important during pregnancy (ideally between 27–36 weeks) to protect newborns from whooping cough. If it has been more than 10 years since your last booster, talk to your Ridgeline Medical provider about whether you’re due for one.
When should I get my flu shot in Idaho Falls?
The CDC recommends getting your annual flu vaccine by the end of October each year, before flu season peaks in Idaho. However, getting vaccinated later in the season still provides protection. Ridgeline Medical offers the seasonal flu vaccine each year. Call us at 208-715-9990 or walk in to our Idaho Falls location when the vaccine becomes available.
Is the flu vaccine safe? Can it give me the flu?
Yes, the flu vaccine is safe and cannot give you influenza. The injected flu vaccine contains inactivated (killed) virus particles, which cannot cause infection. Some people experience mild soreness at the injection site or a low-grade fever for a day or two as their immune system responds; this is normal and temporary. Ridgeline Medical follows CDC-recommended vaccine guidelines for safety and effectiveness.
What should I bring when coming in for a vaccination?
Please bring a valid photo ID and your insurance card. If you have a record of previous vaccinations, bring that as well, as it helps our providers ensure you receive the right vaccines without duplication. Most major insurance plans cover preventive vaccines, but our staff can check your benefits before your visit.
