3. Influenza vaccine

Believe it or not, in the United States, there are between 12,000 and 52,000 people who die annually because of flu-related causes. Besides this, there are many more who are hospitalized because of the flu. This makes the influenza vaccine one of the vaccines every senior should get.

As you might expect, the elderly are more vulnerable to the flu, and they have a higher chance of developing severe symptoms and even dying from it. The CDC reports that people 65 and older account for 70–85% of flu-related fatalities. Even more, this age group accounts for 50–70% of flu-related hospitalizations.

If you don’t know what to choose between the flu shot and the nasal flu vaccine, we are here to tell you to get the flu shot. This is what medics recommend, and if you are 65 or older, you should also get one of the adjuvant flu vaccines or higher-dose vaccines: Flublok Quadrivalent, Fluzone High-Dose Quadrivalent, or Fluad Quadrivalent.

  1. The so-called vaccines are hit and mostly miss! They are also dangerous for lots of people. Beware of the chances you take in having them administered!

  2. A question for you is it just the tdap vaccine that needs to be updated every ten years? I get the flu vaccine & if if the Covid is updated I get that. I also received the RSV vaccine but do other vaccines need to be updated is my concern? Thank you in Advance!

  3. I’m in my 75th year of life and I was exposed to and truly believed in early preventive vaccines but the COVID and the money hungry big pharma lost me with the rush to market crap they dished out. Now I’m very Leary. How much more studies have they conducted and how safe is the Covid vaccines are now?

  4. Please stop promoting ‘vaccines’ as the 100% protection for the older population. Have you ever posted an article with the vaccine related injuries/deaths, or at the very least, the serious side effects? Please respond with the article in case I just can’t find it. Informed consent for all biologicals and drugs should be mandatory.
    Thank you.
