🛡️ Why Adult Vaccination Matters – Protect Your Health at Every Age

💉 Why Adult Vaccination Is Important

Vaccination isn’t just for children—adults need vaccines too. Immunity gained in childhood can fade, while new risks emerge due to:

• Chronic conditions (diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, weakened immunity)
• Changing lifestyle & frequent travel (higher exposure to infections)
• Age-related decline in immunity (especially after 50)
• Exposure at work or through pets/animals

👉 Staying updated with adult vaccines is one of the simplest, most effective ways to prevent serious infections and avoid hospitalization.
