Vaccinations for adults - what you should know
Vaccinations are crucial for adults to protect against preventable diseases. Key vaccines include the flu shot, shingles vaccine, and pneumococcal vaccine, which can prevent complications in older adults. Depending on health conditions, travel plans, and age, additional vaccines like Tdap, hepatitis A/B, and HPV may be recommended. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine which vaccines are appropriate based on individual health needs and lifestyle, ensuring ongoing immunity and disease prevention.
