The Crucial Role Of Vaccines As We Age
The Crucial Role Of Vaccines As We Age
Vaccinations play a pivotal role in safeguarding older adults. Our ability to fight off infections and maintain our immune system declines as we age. As we age, many of us are also in situations where contagious conditions are easily spread. This creates situations where vaccine use is critical for us to stay healthy and live fully.
Vaccines are a safe and effective way for older adults to build immunity against infectious diseases, reducing the chances of serious illness, hospitalization, and complications.
We should all consult with our healthcare professionals when deciding which vaccine we should get and when.
None of us should rely on rumors, misinformation and conspiracy theories spread by social media, friends, and others.
