Flu vaccine recommended for everyone six months old and up
COSHOCTON – The CDC recommends everyone from six months of age and up to get an annual flu shot to reduce risk of illness and serious complications.
People over age 65 as well as younger people with chronic health problems like heart disease, lung problems and diabetes should also have pneumonia vaccination. There are two varieties of pneumonia vaccine which should be administered a year apart. Once seniors have had both kinds, then no boosters are necessary.
