guard against Hepatitis A & B
Immunizations for All Ages
Many adults don't know that getting
immunized is a life-long job. They think shots are for kids. Are you one of
them?
Pneumococcal vaccine is recommended one time at age 65. It's also
recommended for people under 65 with certain chronic diseases.
All
Adults need a Tetanus/Diphtheria booster every 10 years.
Vaccines to
guard against Hepatitis A & B are recommended for those at
risk.
Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccine is recommended for those born
after 1957 who are not vaccinated.
Chicken Pox or varicella vaccine is
recommended for those who have never had the disease.
Please take the
time to get your flu shot. Check your local paper for clinics where flu
immunizations will be given. Ask your doctor, or be aware of clinics held at
local drug stores or grocery stores. Medicare part B will help cover the cost.
Protect yourself this holiday season.
