Influenza vaccines are available to individuals age 3 and over. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that everyone 6 months of age and older, with rare exception, should receive a flu vaccination every year — even if you have never had the flu.¹ High Dose vaccine is also available for those over age 65. A higher dose for a stronger immune response to the flu than the standard FLUZONE® vaccine.² As you get older, your immune system weakens.² Which means your antibody response after getting the traditional flu vaccine is not as high as it used to be.³ FLUZONE-HD® vaccine is made for people 65+ and it helps promote a stronger immune response to the flu than Fluzone vaccine.⁴

Individuals with heart or lung conditions or living in shared housing such as assisted living facilities are at highest risk for hospitalization and complications from RSV. ACOG recommends the Pfizer RSV vaccine if you are 32 to 36 weeks pregnant from September to January.

PNEUMONIA (PREVNAR 20® & PNEUMOVAX®23)
As you age, you take extra steps, like eating right and exercising, to help prevent disease. But even if you take good care of yourself, if you’re 65 or older, you are at risk for pneumococcal disease. Take one more step to help protect yourself against pneumococcal pneumonia with PREVNAR 20®. Pneumococcal vaccinations can prevent pneumococcal disease. Pneumococcal disease refers to any illness caused by pneumococcal bacteria.
These bacteria can cause many types of illnesses, including pneumonia, which is an infection of the lungs. Pneumococcal bacteria are one of the most common causes of pneumonia. Besides pneumonia, pneumococcal bacteria can also cause:
-
Ear infections
-
Sinus infections
-
Meningitis (infection of the tissue covering the brain and spinal cord)
-
Bacteremia (bloodstream infection)
Anyone can get pneumococcal disease, but children under 2 years of age, people with certain medical conditions, adults 65 years or older, and cigarette smokers are at the highest risk. Most pneumococcal infections are mild. However, some can result in long-term problems, such as brain damage or hearing loss. Meningitis, bacteremia, and pneumonia caused by pneumococcal disease can be fatal.
The CDC recommends that all eligible adults 65 or older and select individuals over age 19 with certain medical risk factors receive the pneumonia vaccination. PREVNAR® vaccine to help protect against pneumococcal disease,⁵ even if you have already been vaccinated with a different pneumococcal vaccine, PREVNAR® may help provide additional protection to those over age 65.⁵ Six to 12 months after receiving Prevnar, it is recommended to get a dose of Pneumovax if you have not received a dose after age 65, and it has been at least 5 years since your last dose. Ask our pharmacists today if a pneumococcal vaccine is recommended for you.

SHINGLES (SHINGRIX®)
99% of people over 50 years of age are living with the virus that causes shingles, and 1 in 3 people will get shingles in their lifetime.⁶ SHINGRIX® is the only shingles vaccine proven to be up to 90% effective in clinical trials.⁶ SHINGRIX® is given as a 2-dose series, with the second shot administered 2 to 6 months after the first shot. To ensure you get the protection against shingles offered by SHINGRIX® , it's important to get both shots. It is recommended that individuals that have been vaccinated with another version of the shingles vaccine still receive two doses of Shingrix.

TETANUS, DIPHTHERIA, & PERTUSSIS
Boostrix and Adacel vaccinations are indicated for active booster immunization for the prevention of tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis as a single dose in eligible persons. Family members are the primary source of pertussis in infants. Infants under 6 months of age are most vulnerable to complications from pertussis⁷, so anyone who is going to be around an infant under 6 months of age should receive a booster dose of Pertussis to provide protection to those infants. Anyone due to receive a tetanus/diphtheria booster should also receive pertussis in their vaccine to help protect themselves.

HEPATITIS
Hepatitis A is a serious liver disease caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV). Hepatitis A virus is found in the feces (poop) of people with hepatitis A. Hepatitis A can be spread by having close personal contact with an infected person, such as by living with or having sex with an infected person. It can also be spread by eating food or by drinking water that has been contaminated with hepatitis A virus – either when in the U.S. or when traveling in other countries. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends hepatitis A vaccination for all children and teens through age 18 who were not previously vaccinated, all adults who are in risk groups, and all adults without a risk factor who want to avoid hepatitis A infection.
The hepatitis B vaccination series is recommended for all children, beginning at birth. Adolescents and adults through age 59 years should be vaccinated if not previously vaccinated. Adults 60 years and older at increased risk for hepatitis should be vaccinated; all other adults 60 and older also may be vaccinated.
