Vaccination: Our best shot at healthy aging

As we get older, our risk for shingles and pneumococcal infections increases. That's why elders should be vaccinated against both diseases. Additionally, adults of all ages should be up to date on their seasonal influenza vaccine and their tetanus vaccine, which is typically administered every 10 years. For more information on which vaccinations an adult in your care may need, refer to the 2019 recommended adult immunization schedule.
