Vaccines for Older Canadians: An Update on What Everyone Needs to Know to Enable Healthy Ageing

As the colder months approach, staying up to date with the latest vaccines is one of the best ways to protect older adults from serious illnesses. This fall and winter, vaccines for Seasonal Influenza, RSV, COVID-19, Pneumococcal Disease, and Shingles are especially critical, alongside routine vaccinations like Diphtheria and Tetanus.

Learn what vaccines can help enable healthy and independent ageing and how you can make informed decisions to protect yourself or your loved ones this season and beyond.
