CDC Recommended Vaccines

Adults need Immunizations, too!

Immunizations are NOT just for kids! Whether a young adult, middle-aged adult or senior citizen, we ALL need immunizations to keep us healthy.

The specific immunizations you need as an adult are determined by factors such as your age, lifestyle, high-risk conditions, type and locations of travel, and previous immunizations.
