Senior Citizen Vaccination
Say yes to vaccination, Say yes to a healthier life!
Senior Citizen Vaccination
Vaccination in the elderly is beneficial in enabling healthy aging, enabling them to offer positive support to their families, avoid functional decline, and thereby reduce associated effects on health and welfare expenditure.
Vaccines are equally important for older adults or say grandparents as they are for babies and adults. As one gets older, immune system weakens, and it can be more difficult to fight off infections. One is more likely to get diseases like flu, pneumonia — and to have complications that can lead to long-term illness, hospitalisation, and even death.
Why senior citizen need vaccinations?
- Certain diseases are more common in the ages of 50 years and above.
- Immune system weakens with age
- The risk for new and different disease may increase depending on the lifestyle, travel, occupation or co-morbidities.
- Vaccination is an important tool to protect from long-term illness, hospitalisation, and even death.
- Vaccination helps to protect grandchildren and others in the community too.
