ADULT IMMUNIZATION SCHEDULE

Vaccines for adults include:
Tetanus-Diphtheria Vaccine (all adults, every 10 years)
Influenza (Flu) Vaccine (adults 50 and older)

Hepatitis B Vaccine (adults at risk)
Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) Vaccine (susceptible adults)
Varicella (chickenpox) Vaccine (susceptible adults)
Vaccines for travelers

Some adults incorrectly assume that the vaccines they received as children will protect them for the rest of their lives. Generally this is true, except that:
Some adults were never vaccinated as children
Newer vaccines were not available when some adults were children
Immunity can begin to fade over time
As we age, we become more susceptible to serious disease caused by common infections (e.g., flu, pneumococcus)
