With pandemic restrictions disrupting daily life over the past few years, getting routine vaccinations fell by the wayside for many people. Another reason is that many people aren't sure what shots they need and when. Then there are those who are understandably not thrilled about getting jabbed in the arm. But vaccines are important, because they can lower your risk of getting diseases like pneumonia, flu, shingles, and tetanus, all of which can be very serious, especially in older adults. Another important virus to get protected against is human papillomavirus (HPV), which can lead to cancer.
