Caregivers—have you and the person you care for had these vaccinations?

Caregivers, please talk to your doctor about getting the vaccinations you need.  Also, make sure that the person with Alzheimer’s is also current on the following immunizations:

• Flu
• Pneumococcal Disease
• Tetanus and Diphtheria
• Shingles
• Measles, Mumps, and Rubella

Learn more about vaccinations for older adults in the AgePage Shots for Safety. And don’t forget to schedule updates for your own immunizations!
