Why immunizations matter

Vaccines have significantly reduced—and in some cases eliminated—life-threatening diseases such as measles, polio, and whooping cough. By staying up to date on recommended immunizations, you not only protect yourself but also help safeguard those around you, especially vulnerable populations.

 

Immunizations for All Ages

​

Children and adolescents:
Vaccinations begin early in life to protect against serious illnesses. As children grow, booster shots and additional vaccines help maintain immunity and protect against conditions such as meningitis and HPV. Routine immunizations are essential for school attendance and long-term health.

​

Adults:
Immunizations remain important throughout adulthood, especially for those who:

• Travel internationally

• Work in healthcare or public settings

• Have chronic health conditions

• Did not complete childhood vaccinations

​

Vaccines such as Tdap, HPV, and others may be recommended based on your lifestyle and health history.

​

Seniors:
Older adults are at higher risk for complications from certain illnesses. Vaccines like shingles (recommended starting around age 50) and pneumococcal vaccines (typically recommended at age 65 and older) help protect against serious infections and improve quality of life.

Annual protection against seasonal influenza

 

The flu is a highly contagious illness that can lead to serious complications, especially in young children, older adults, pregnant women, and individuals with chronic conditions.

​

Key benefits of the flu vaccine:

​

• Reduces your risk of getting the flu

• Lessens severity if you do become ill

• Helps prevent the spread to others

• Decreases risk of hospitalization and complications

​

The CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine for everyone 6 months of age and older, ideally before the start of flu season.
