You’re Never too Old to Get Immunized
If you thought vaccinations were only for children, think again.
“Many patients are surprised to learn that they still need ‘booster shots’ as an adult,” says Dr. Susan Nelson, family medicine specialist at Harbor of Health, a program of UT Medical Group, Inc.
Most vaccines lose their effectiveness over time. Booster shots can provide renewed disease protection.
For example, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control recommends a Tdap booster for adults in a home with a new baby in order to protect against whooping cough, a highly contagious and potentially deadly disease. Parents, grandparents, and other adults who may be around the infant should also receive the vaccine.
