#1176: MM- The Importance of Adult Vaccines

Is your shot record up to date? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. You may think that vaccines are just for kids and animals, but that thinking could get you into health trouble. Adults need vaccines too. Flu vaccines protect against the most common forms of the flu and pneumonia vaccines could keep you out of the hospital. Remember that even today people can die from the flu and from pneumonia. Tetanus is another vaccine that adults need at least every ten years, more often if there is an injury with broken skin. And if you know a thing or two about shingles, you know you don't want them! If you're over 50, the shingles vaccine may save you from unnecessary pain and suffering.
