Vaccinate: Its Not Just for Kids
Vaccinations protect the body against common infectious diseases. They are used to prevent disease, decrease the severity of disease and decrease death. Most immunizations are given during the developmental years but there are some immunizations that are given to adults, especially older adults. Vital vaccinations in older adults include the influenza vaccine, pneumococcal vaccine, tetanus/diphtheria vaccine and the shingles vaccine.
