A common booster vaccine recommended at least every 10 years is the tetanus shot. For adults over 50, the zoster vaccine can prevent shingles in those who have had chickenpox or the chickenpox vaccine previously.

What are Routine Vaccines?

The CDC has vaccine schedules available for newborns, pediatrics & adolescents, and adults. Different vaccinations are recommended at different stages of life. Some are required to enter the public school system in kindergarten.

Many adults may have lost their vaccine records, but a quick, easy blood test can show the antibody titers. These antibody titers give a quantitative overview of someone’s immunity to certain disease processes.

What are some Vaccine Side Effects?

Most mild reactions to vaccines include soreness, redness, swelling, or itching at the injection site. Some people faint after medical procedures, so always tell your healthcare provider about this prior to receiving the vaccination. Severe reactions to vaccines are rare. A few vaccines are multi-dose series, so you may have to return for a second or third dose during a specified time period.
