SeniorNavigator-where community and technology come together.

Immunization Awareness



Did you know that tens of thousands of adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases or their complications each year? Vaccines arent just for children—they are for people of all ages. Taking action to prevent these diseases is crucial to your wellness and the wellness of those around you.

There are several safe and effective vaccines available to prevent painful and/or potentially life-threatening illnesses such as tetanus, shingles, pneumoccocal disease, whooping cough and flu. There is a relatively new vaccine to prevent shingles as well as a vaccine called "Tdap" which will prevent tetanus, diptheria and whooping cough (pertussis) in adults 64 and younger.

Pneumococcal disease causes pneumonia and other serious bacterial infections. Each year in the United States, there are an estimated 175,000 hospitalized cases of pneumococcal pneumonia. Adults over the age of 65 are especially at risk and should be vaccinated against pneumococcal disease.

The costs of both the influenza and pneumococcal vaccines are covered under Medicare Part B and the shingles vaccine is reimbursed by most Medicare Part D plans. Contact your physician to make sure that you and your loved ones are up-to-date on immunizations. Being up-to-date protects you, your family and friends and community from preventable diseases. To your health!!

A special thank you to our Partners—whose commitment to community and technology allows us to reach all Virginians, with and without Internet access, and offer new tools on SeniorNavigator.
