Vaccines you need:
As we get older, our immune systems tend to weaken over time, putting us at higher risk for certain diseases. All adults ages 65 and older should make sure they’re up to date on these vaccines:
- COVID-19 vaccine
- Flu vaccine (influenza)
- Pneumococcal vaccine
- Shingles vaccine (zoster)
- Tdap vaccine (Tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough) or Td (tetanus, diphtheria)
You may need other vaccines, too:
You may need other vaccines based on your age or other factors, too. Talk with your doctor to learn which vaccines are recommended for you. These may include:
- RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) – adults aged 60 years or older should talk to their healthcare provider about getting a single dose of RSV vaccine
