COVID-19: Adults 65 and older should get at least one dose of an updated COVID-19 vaccine. For more information, visit cdc.gov/covid/vaccines. You can get a COVID-19 shot at no cost through your health plan.
Shingles: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends two doses of Shingrix. The doses should be separated by two to six months for adults 50 and older.
Pneumococcal: The CDC recommends the PCV15, PCV20 or PCV21 vaccine for adults 50 and older who have never been vaccinated for pneumococcal infections or are unsure. If PCV15 is used, a second dose of PPSV23 is needed one year later or sooner, depending on health conditions.
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV): If you are 75 or older, or between 60 and 74 with a higher risk of severe RSV, the CDC recommends a single dose.
