2023 Annual Vaccination Guide

Help Protect Yourself & Others by Staying Up To Date on Vaccinations

From childhood to adulthood, certain vaccinations can help protect us from illnesses and diseases that can be serious — sometimes deadly. Many of these diseases are common, but vaccines can prevent them.

Even if you got all of your vaccines on schedule as a child and adolescent, you still need some vaccinations as an adult. That’s because:

• Our immune systems weaken with age.
• Certain diseases are more common in older people.
• Older adults are at higher risk for severe complications from diseases.
• The protection from some vaccines can wear off over time.

When you get vaccinated, you don’t just protect yourself — you also protect others. This is especially important if you spend time around small children or anyone with a long-term health problem or weakened immune system.

Contact your primary healthcare provider for more information on vaccinations or visit www.cdc.gov.

If you need to establish a primary care provider, call (985) 230-2778 or visit www.northoaks.org/primarycare for a list of North Oaks Health System primary care providers and schedule your appointment.
