Get your flu and COVID-19 vaccinations

This year, the CDC recommends flu and COVID-19 vaccinations for everyone ages 6 months and older (and RSV immunizations for specific groups). These vaccines are critical for aging adults to protect against severe illness and hospitalization. As immune systems naturally weaken with age, older adults face a higher risk of complications from respiratory infections, pneumonia, and, in some cases, life-threatening conditions. Stay protected by getting your flu and COVID-19 vaccinations.

Reduce your risk

Getting vaccinated significantly reduces these risks. The flu vaccine is updated annually to combat new strains, ensuring that each year’s shot is targeted and effective. Similarly, updated COVID-19 boosters address evolving variants, enhancing protection for the upcoming season. Vaccinations also aid in community protection, especially among family members, caregivers, and those who might be immunocompromised, fostering a safer environment for everyone.

Stay connected

Beyond physical health, vaccines offer peace of mind. By reducing the likelihood of severe illness, they allow older adults to participate in social gatherings, family events, and routine activities without the added worry of infection. Staying up to date with vaccines during this fall and winter season is an easy, effective way for aging adults to prioritize their health and quality of life.
