Immunity fades, and new risks appear with age. Staying current on adult vaccines protects you and your community.
Childhood vaccinations get a lot of attention, but adult immunizations matter just as much. Immunity from some vaccines wanes over time, and age brings new risks that specific vaccines can prevent.
The annual flu vaccine is recommended for everyone. Adults over 50 should get the shingles vaccine. At 65, the pneumococcal vaccine becomes important. And if you're traveling internationally, additional vaccines may be required depending on your destination.
Staying current also protects those around you — infants, elderly family members, and people with weakened immune systems who rely on community immunity to stay safe.
