Do adults need shots?
You're not a kid anymore, so you don't have to worry about shots, right? Wrong. Adults also benefit from vaccines.

Adult vaccines to consider include the flu (influenza) vaccine, the pneumococcal vaccine, the tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine, the shingles vaccine and the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
