As our seniors continue to age, their immune system weakens, which makes it more difficult for their bodies to fight off infections. They are most likely to get diseases like the flu, pneumonia, and shingles, which may result in hospitalizations, long term illness, hospitalization or even death.

Roll up your sleeves!

Some of the shots recommended for our seniors 50 and older via the CDC are:

???? Shingles Vaccine

???? Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPSV23)

???? Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV13)

???? Seasonal Flu (Influenza) Vaccine

???? Td or Tdap Vaccine

???? COVID 19 Vaccines

Schedule those doctor appointments!

Don’t forget to encourage our seniors to get their doctor check ups regularly to stay on top of their health, which includes getting their regular eye exams as well! We hope you all continue to stay safe and healthy! Always remember our White Glove team is here for you. ????
