Vaccines are not just for children—adults need them too! Here is a snapshot of vaccines important for adults: 1. Flu Vaccine: Annually, preferably before flu season (all adults, especially those 65+) 2. Pneumonia Vaccine: One vaccine followed by a second 12 months later (adults 50+) 3. COVID-19 Vaccine: Varies (all ages) 4. Shingles Vaccine: Two-dose series (adults 50+) 5. Tetanus Vaccine: Every 10 years (all adults) 6. RSV Vaccine: One-time dose (adults 60+) 7. Gardasil Vaccine: Three doses (ages 9-45) If you have questions or need assistance scheduling an appointment, call your MedNOW Clinic. Your health is our top priority.
