Adult Immunizations

Flu: Everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine every season.

Pneumococcal Pneumonia: Pneumococcal disease is common in young children, but older adults are at greatest risk of serious illness and death. CDC recommends vaccination for all adults 65 years or older. If you are under age 65 talk to your medical provider.

RSV: The RSV vaccine helps protect adults 60 years and older from RSV disease. Older adults are at greater risk than young adults for serious complications from RSV because immune systems weaken with age. In addition, certain underlying medical conditions may increase the risk of getting very sick from RSV and older adults with these conditions may especially benefit from getting RSV vaccine. If you are 60 years and older, talk to your healthcare provider to see if RSV vaccination is right for you. Learn more here.

Shingles: Shingles is a painful rash that usually develops on one side of the body, often the face or torso. Shingles vaccination is the only way to protect against shingles.  Adults 50 years and older should get two doses of Shingrix, separated by 2 to 6 months.

COVID-19: COVID-19 vaccines help our bodies develop immunity to the virus that causes COVID-19 without us having to get the illness. Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines by following the latest recommendations. Learn more here.

Other adult vaccinations are also available during immunization clinic hours. View all CDC recommendations here. Vaccines will be billed to primary insurance. If you are uninsured or your insurance doesn’t pay for vaccines, they may be provided at no charge through a new Vaccines for Adults program. Click here to see which vaccines are included.
