👴👵 PROTECT OUR SENIORS
Older adults can be more vulnerable to serious complications from pneumonia and other respiratory infections.
Adult vaccination can play an important role in reducing the risk of vaccine-preventable respiratory infections.
💉 Influenza vaccination is generally recommended annually, with timing depending on local recommendations and individual circumstances.
💉 Pneumococcal vaccination is recommended for many older adults and people with certain medical conditions. The vaccine schedule depends on the vaccine used and the individual's age and health status.
Vaccination may also be particularly important for people with conditions such as diabetes/ COPD and for those who smoke or have other risk factors.
