Adults 50+ are at higher risk for severe illness from infectious respiratory disease.

You can’t control everything. But vaccination can help you take more control of your health.

Take steps to help protect your health.

Stay protected against infectious respiratory diseases through vaccination.

For adults ages 50+, infectious diseases can be serious. As you age, your immune system naturally weakens, putting adults ages 50 and older at a significantly higher risk of serious outcomes from infectious diseases.

Vaccines can help prevent the most severe outcomes from these diseases, helping to keep you healthy and active. Learn more below about vaccines that can protect your health — including COVID-19, flu, pneumococcal disease, RSV, and shingles vaccines. Depending on your vaccination history, you may also be recommended additional vaccines. Talk to your healthcare provider to learn more about which vaccines are right for you.
