Influenza (or “flu”) is an infection that is caused by the influenza virus. The influenza virus is most active during the winter months and can cause fever/chills, headaches, fatigue, muscle aches, runny/stuffy nose and cough in affected individuals. It is recommended that all persons aged 6 months and older should receive an annual influenza vaccination unless otherwise directed by their physician. The influenza vaccine is available in several different formulations that offer different routes of administration and also preservative-free options.

Pneumococcal disease is an infection caused by the streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. Pneumococcal disease is often associated with causing pneumonia, but can also cause meningitis and blood infections in certain patient populations. There are two kinds of pneumococcal vaccines available in the United States—Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV13, PCV15, and PCV20) and Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23). CDC recommends PCV13 or PCV15 for all children younger than 5 years old and children 5 through 18 years old with certain medical conditions that increase their risk of pneumococcal disease. CDC recommends PPSV23 for children aged 2 through 18 years with medical conditions that increase their risk of pneumococcal disease. For those who have never received any pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), CDC recommends PCV15 or PCV20 for adults 65 years or older and adults 19 through 64 years old with certain medical conditions or risk factors. If PCV15 is used, this should be followed by a dose of PPSV23 to provide better immunity against disease.
Shingles is a condition that is caused by the varicella-zoster virus which is the same virus that causes chickenpox. Varicella-zoster lies dormant in the spinal cord after one recovers from chicken pox but can reactivate later in life to shingles, which can have painful complications. All persons aged 50 years and older are recommended to receive the shingles vaccination, also known as Shingrix®, unless otherwise directed by their physician.
Pertussis, also commonly known as “whooping cough” is a very contagious respiratory infection caused by the bacteria bordetella pertussis. This condition can cause uncontrollable and violent coughing which can make it difficult to breath. It most commonly affects infants and children and can sometimes be fatal. All persons aged 18 years and older are recommended to receive this vaccination to not only protect themselves but also to prevent outbreaks in our younger population. Pertussis vaccine is available in a combination vaccine (along with tetanus and diphtheria) called Boostrix®.
Hepatitis is a serious liver disease that can be caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV). The virus can spread from person to person through contact with stool of an infected person (potentially due to improper hand-washing). Symptoms of hepatitis A can include fatigue, severe stomach pains, and/or jaundice (yellow skin or eyes, dark urine, clay-colored bowel movements). The vaccine is recommended for children and adults with certain risk factors. Talk to your healthcare professional to see if this vaccine would be recommended for you.
Hepatitis is a serious liver disease that can be caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Acute hepatitis B is a short-term illness that can produce symptoms such as fever, loss of appetite, and/or jaundice. Chronic hepatitis B is a long-term illness that may not produce symptoms but can lead serious effects such as liver damage or liver cancer. Hepatitis B is spread when infected bodily fluid enters the body of a non-infected person. The hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for children and adolescents younger than 19 who have not received the vaccine, and unvaccinated adults who are at risk for hepatitis B infection. Talk to your healthcare professional to see if this vaccine would be recommended for you.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is an infection associated with many cancers, including cancers affecting the female and the male reproductive organs. HPV is usually spread through sexual contact, and can affect both males and females. The vaccine is routinely given at 11 or 12 years of age, but it may be given beginning at age 9 years through age 26 years. Ask your health care professional if this vaccine would be recommended for you.
Tetanus and diphtheria are infections caused by bacteria. Diphtheria can be spread through coughing or sneezing, whereas tetanus-causing bacteria enters the body through cuts and scrapes. Tetanus is a medical emergency that causes painful muscle tightening and stiffness. Diphtheria can also be life-threatening by causing breathing problems and heart failure. The Td vaccine is usually given as a booster dose every 10 years. Other vaccines, Tdap and DtaP, additionally protect against pertussis and is sometimes recommended instead of Td vaccine. Ask your doctor or pharmacist which one is appropriate for you.
Measles is caused by a virus that can lead to symptoms such as fever, cough, whole body rash and sometimes seizures, ear infections and pneumonia. Mumps is caused by a different virus that can cause things such as fever, headache, muscle aches, and even lead to more serious things such as swelling of the brain and deafness. Rubella is caused by another virus that leads to symptoms such as rash, sore throat, and fever. The MMR vaccine can help prevent all 3 of these infections. Children need 2 doses of the MMR vaccine, typically one dose at 12-15 months and a second dose at age 4-6 years old. Older children, adolescents, and adults also need 1 or 2 doses of MMR vaccine if they are not already immune to measles, mumps, and rubella. Talk to your healthcare professional to see if this vaccine would be recommended for you.
Meningococcal disease can cause meningitis, which is an infection of the lining of the brain and spinal cord, and blood infections. Most causes of meningitis are caused by viruses, but can also be caused by bacteria, parasites, and fungi. These infections can lead to serious issues such as brain damage, hearing loss, kidney damage and even death. Meningococcal disease is a rare disease and can be caused by different types or variations of a virus or bacteria. Two vaccines are available to cover these variations. The Meningococcal B is covered by one vaccine and Meningococcal ACWY is covered by another vaccine. All children ages 11-12 years old should get the Meningococcal ACWY vaccine with a booster dose at 16 years old. Those aged 16-23 years old may also get a Meningococcal B vaccine. Children and adults who are at an increased risk for meningococcal disease may also be recommended to receive a vaccine. Ask your health care professional if a meningococcal vaccine would be recommended for you.

Lower respiratory tract disease can be caused by a virus known as Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). RSV can be spread through coughing or sneezing and touching a surface that has the virus on it. Symptoms of RSV infection may include fever, coughing, sneezing, runny nose, decreased appetite or wheezing. However, RSV infection can sometimes lead to more serious symptoms such as shortness of breath, low oxygen levels, and can worsen other conditions such as COPD, asthma, or congestive heart failure. All persons aged 60 years and older are recommended to receive the RSV vaccination, unless otherwise directed by their physician.
