For every generation, vaccines work. That includes you, our amazing senior community!
As we get older, our immune systems need a little extra support. Vaccines are one of the simplest, most powerful things you can do to stay healthy, independent, and feeling your best.
Dr. Moran recommends these key vaccines for adults 65+:
✅ Flu shot (high-dose) — every fall
✅ COVID-19 booster — annually
✅ Shingles — 2 doses
✅ Pneumococcal (PCV20) — usually a one-time dose
✅ Tdap/Td booster — every 10 years
✅ RSV vaccine — ask your provider if it's right for you
Most of these are covered at little or no cost through Medicare Part B or Part D.
