Take A Pledge
As individuals age, their immune systems naturally weaken, a process known as immunosenescence, making them significantly more vulnerable to infectious diseases. This heightened susceptibility increases the risk of severe complications, hospitalizations, and even fatalities from illnesses that younger individuals might easily overcome. Vaccines play a crucial role in bolstering the immune response of older adults, providing essential protection against diseases like influenza, pneumonia, shingles, and COVID-19. By stimulating the production of antibodies, vaccines help to reduce the severity of infections, minimize the likelihood of complications, and preserve the overall health and quality of life for seniors. Therefore, vaccinations are not just recommended, but are vital for older populations.
