Unfortunately, some diseases don’t just affect you, they affect those around you — your loved ones, your friends and the people you work or interact with on a daily basis. That’s why it’s so important to get vaccinated to help protect you and the people you care about. The most common illnesses that are preventable with vaccines2 are:
- Influenza — 1 dose annually
- COVID-19 — For adults 19 and over
- Pneumonia — For adults age 65 and over, vaccination could be 2 doses depending on indications
- Shingles — For adults age 60 and over, 2 dose vaccination
- Tetanus — After the initial tetanus series, a booster with Td or Tdap every 10 years
