When most people think of vaccinations, they often associate them with childhood. But did you know that immunisations are just as important in adulthood? Vaccines help protect you, your family, and your community from preventable diseases — at every stage of life.

Common Adult Vaccinations:

Here’s a quick checklist of recommended immunisations for adults:

• Influenza (Flu Vaccine) – Yearly protection against seasonal flu.
• COVID-19 Vaccines & Boosters – Stay up to date with recommended doses.
• Tetanus, Diphtheria & Pertussis (Tdap) – Every 10 years or during pregnancy.
• Shingles Vaccine – Recommended for adults over 50.
• Pneumococcal Vaccine – Especially important for those over 65 or with chronic conditions.
• HPV Vaccine – For protection against certain cancers; now also available for adults up to age 45.
• Travel Vaccines – Depending on your destination.

Why It Matters:

Staying vaccinated lowers your risk of serious illness and hospitalisation, especially if you have a chronic condition or a weakened immune system.
