As we age, our bodies become more vulnerable to certain viruses, including the flu and COVID-19. But there’s good news! You can continue to enjoy life to the fullest by staying protected with this season’s vaccines.
Why Vaccinate?
For those 65 and older, the risk of hospitalization due to flu and COVID-19 doubles if you skip the vaccines. Updated vaccines are your armor against these viruses, helping you stay healthy and active.
Protecting Our Seniors
Did you know that seniors in long-term care can cut their risk of hospital admission nearly in half with seasonal vaccines? It’s a simple step that can make a big difference in maintaining health and happiness.
Children Need Protection Too
The MMR vaccine is essential for safeguarding children against measles, mumps, and rubella. Two doses are recommended: the first between 12 to 15 months and the second between 4 to 6 years of age. Plus, the MMRV vaccine adds protection against chickenpox.
Spread the Word
Last year alone, flu and COVID-19 resulted in nearly a million hospitalizations among those 65 and older. It’s crucial to talk to your loved ones about getting vaccinated this season to keep them safe and healthy.
Remember, staying vaccinated is a key part of living life to the fullest. For more information, visit www.vacunas.gov and make sure you and your family are prepared for the season ahead.
