6. MMR vaccine
If you were born in 1957 or later, you are between 19 and 64 years old, and you have no evidence of immunity to rubella, measles, or mumps, then it would be a good idea to get the MMR vaccine. You can get a dose or two, and it is one of the vaccines every senior should get.
Before the measles vaccine was made available, this was a pretty common illness in the US. But what truly made a difference was the huge vaccination campaigns that convinced a lot of people to get the vaccine, and this is how, in the year 2000, this illness was eradicated in the US.
Unfortunately, all the anti-vaxxing campaigns helped measles make a comeback. This is not good news, and this is why you should get the MMR vaccine. Statistics say that those who have a weak immune system have a higher chance of getting hospitalized for this illness. This is 1 in 5 cases among those born in 1957 or later.
Sometimes, after getting vaccines, your arm might hurt. If you want to say goodbye to pain and enjoy the rest of the day, this ice pack can truly help you: Flexible Large Gel Ice Pack for Shoulders, Arms, Back and Thighs. Hot & Cold Therapy Wrap

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!
I would like to recieve health advice, I’m a liver transplant recipient since 2004
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!
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?
Nonsense – no one has ever said vaccines are 100% protection. It will make the illness less bad.
Polio – was almost eradicated – just recently reintroduced to the US by travelers
Smallpox – was eradicated in the US
COVID-19 killed 1.2 million people in the US and is still killing some. When the pandemic first happened, there was no cure.
Hospitals and first responders were overwhelmed. Some hospitals had refrigerated trucks because they did not have enough room for the dead bodies. You blame the money hungry pharma industry- for 2 years vaccines were issued FREE by the government. How much is your life worth if you fail to maintain COVID protection. No one said it is 100% but the vaccine will make the infection less. Oh yeah, at 75 and still kicking, you beat death so far but let’s face it, your life is 85% over and you need to get a pre-need contract to get ready for your adios to this world – and you can’t blame the money hungry big pharma.
You missed RSV
Very important
Thank you
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.
U just can’t cure stupid in some folks in not listening to science
Is it possible to have shingles more than once?
I am 73 years old (74 in December) and had, what I consider to be, a mild case of shingles last year. I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 2 1/2 years ago. I also had a stroke a year ago and now am a resident of a health care facility. After having conferred with my oncologist, this facility was told that I could receive a shingles vaccine, which I have gotten.
What are my chances of getting shingles again.?
Definitely no Covid ‘vaccine.’
The best vaccine is your properly working immune system stay away from this sh..as they make it to depopulate this planet make you sick and push you to spend your savings to try to recover your health. Stay away from biomedical engineering !!! Actually do what you want choice is yours…
The Covid-19 recommendation is nothing but a lie. There is zero proof that the jabs will prevent contraction and spreading. Everyone I know who has contracted Covid more than once received the shot and the boosters. It was never fully tested and no reports have been published showing it’s efficacy. There are other ways to achieve better and safer health. Look up alternatives and be enlightened. Articles like this one is disinformation and at best is an opinion piece. Wake up!
Please quit promoting Covid. I took the vaccine and two boosters. I now have terrible side effects. Big lumps in my legs. Legs that feel so heavy I cannot walk very far. Dog tired. No energy. Have to take a nap after any brief activity. It has “shut down” my life.
Had a stroke after the AstraZeneca jab but doctors keep telling me it was a coincidence. Maybe because they don’t want to pay compensation. Never again will I take a vaccine!
