Pneumococcal
Vaccination against pneumonia is an important preventive health care measure that substantially reduces the burden of pneumococcal disease. Pneumococcal vaccination is indicated for adults with risk factors for pneumococcal disease or for severe adverse outcomes should disease occur.
-
Shingles
Shingles is caused by a virus. The shingles virus, also called the varicella zoster virus, is the same one that causes chickenpox.
As we age, our immune system naturally weakens. As a result, the shingles virus may reactivate, increasing the risk of developing shingles.
The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) recommends SHINGRIX for adults 50 years of age and older.

HPV
The HPV vaccine helps protect individuals against human papillomavirus (HPV) that can cause diseases, such as genital warts, and HPV-related cancers.
