Flu shot every year if you are age 50 or older, or if you have a chronic illness.
Pneumonia shot once for people age 65 and older; earlier for persons with a chronic illness. Some people may need a booster after six years.
Tetanus/diptheria shot every 10 years.
Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) shot, one or two doses, for adults up to age 50. If you are a woman of childbearing years, you should talk to your provider about the right time to receive this shot.
Hepatitis A and hepatitis B shots are given to protect high-risk adults from these liver diseases. Ask your provider if you should receive one or both of them.
