Vaccinations

Vaccines help prevent serious illness across every stage of life.

What to know

Recommended vaccines depend on age, pregnancy, medical conditions, travel, work, prior doses, and changing public-health guidance.

Common adult vaccines may include influenza, COVID-19, tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis, shingles, pneumococcal, RSV, hepatitis, and others based on risk.

Steps that may help

  • Bring available vaccine records to visits.
  • Tell the clinician about severe allergies, pregnancy, immune conditions, or prior vaccine reactions.
  • Mild soreness, fatigue, or fever can occur after some vaccines.
  • Do not delay urgent care for signs of a severe allergic reaction.
