If adequately immu-: nized against, but still fearful of contracting a vaccine-preventable illness, you may have Health Anxiety Disorder. Seek referrals to a psychiatrist & a psychologist for accurate diagnosis & treatment, as Health Anxiety often overlaps with other Anxiety Disorders. Long-term Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & adjunctive medications can help you manage your symptoms, rather than their running your life
