Adult IMMUNIZATIONS

 The need for immunizations doesn't end when you reach adulthood. Protect yourself and your loved ones from immunization-preventable diseases. If you're not sure which immunizations you received in the past, there are many ways you can find your immunization records.

Recommended Immunizations

The specific immunizations recommended for adults are determined by factors such as age, lifestyle, health conditions, recent or planned traveling, and previous immunizations. Throughout your adult life, immunizations help to maintain protection against:

• Hepatitis B infection (for adults who have diabetes or are at risk for hepatitis B)
• Pneumococcal disease (for adults 65 years and older and adults with specific health conditions)
• Seasonal flu
• Shingles (for adults 60 years and older)
• Tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough)
• COVID-19

Other immunizations you may need include those that protect against:

• Chickenpox (varicella)
• Hepatitis A
• Human papillomavirus (which can cause certain cancers)
• Measles, mumps and rubella
• Meningococcal disease

Ask your doctor which immunizations are recommended for you.
