When Should Adults Get Pneumococcal Vaccination?

Many adults don’t think about vaccinations. Often they are considered “only for kids”.

When it’s actually true that vaccinations are important for adults, too. Especially for potentially serious infections, and for people with potentially compromised immune systems. Probably including the person you care for.

How do you know? Well, your health care provider should be aware of the latest guidelines. And the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases has recently published the following article and infographic to help explain the need for pneumococcal vaccination.

Too Many Adults Lack Protection from Serious Infection

Should You Get the Pneumococcal Vaccination?

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported that many adults skip pneumococcal and other recommended vaccinations, leaving them needlessly at risk for serious illnesses and even death. As one example, about 73 million U.S. adults who are recommended for pneumococcal vaccination have not received it.

If you have children or grandchildren, you may know that they receive pneumococcal vaccines as part of the routine childhood immunization schedule. You might not be aware, though, that certain adults also need protection. Pneumococcal disease is a bacterial infection that can cause pneumonia, meningitis, or blood poisoning (sepsis). It kills thousands of adults in the U.S. each year and sickens many more, leading to more than 175,000 hospitalizations annually.

“Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to your health,” says Dr. Thomas M. File, Jr., an infectious disease specialist and president of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID). “It’s important to know which vaccines you need as an adult to avoid serious illness.”

So, how do you know if you need pneumococcal vaccination? According to NFID, everyone age 65 and older and adults of any age who smoke or have certain health conditions should be vaccinated. These conditions include asthma; diabetes; heart, liver, lung or kidney disease; or HIV/AIDS or other conditions that weaken the immune system. (Click here to see a full list.)

The bacteria are spread through coughing, sneezing, or direct contact, such as kissing. Anyone can get pneumococcal disease, but it’s most dangerous for those listed above. Most adults only need to receive one pneumococcal vaccination in their lifetime, though some will need more than one dose depending on age and personal health.

Dr. File advises that pneumococcal disease is a common complication of the flu. However, he emphasizes that adults can receive a pneumococcal vaccination at any time of year. He also urges adults to ask about other vaccines they may need including shingles, pertussis, or hepatitis.

“Vaccines are a simple and effective tool you can use to help protect your health now and in the future,” says Dr. File.

5 Reasons to Get Vaccinated for Pneumococcal Disease:

  1. Pneumococcal disease is a potentially deadly infection that can strike quickly.
  2. In its worst forms, pneumococcal disease kills one out of every four to five people over the age of 65 who get it.
  3. Getting vaccinated is the safest, most effective way to protect yourself.
  4. Even if vaccination does not stop you from getting the infection, it can reduce the severity, helping to keep you out of the hospital.
  5. Medicare covers the cost of vaccination, and most private insurers will pay for those in at-risk groups.

Success Stories

Kevin Wilke "During the time I was using the Miracle Mindshift, out of nowhere significantly increased the money into my business while at the same significantly decreased the time I was working in my business.

So now, this is something that came out of nowhere because of this program.

And now... a new branding opportunity has opened and is going to be a great new income opportunity and a bigger business!"

Lynn Benjamin"Something so beautiful happens each day as I listen to the daily Miracle Mindshift. The best way I can describe the experience is simultaneously getting juiced up a vibrational level, or more, while getting settled right into, grounded into the center of my being.

Today, while listening to day 15, SEVERAL lights in the mansion turned on. A rapid download of aha's begin to make my heart feel different. I'm integrating now, and can say that I will now experience the four directions on a physical level, rather than having the four directions as just concepts. How part of the earth we are. I look forward to a deepening of this physical connection with the four directions.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom, I'm so grateful!"

- Lynn Benjamin

StacyQuinn"I went through the day 11 content, and I was hearing the same critical chatter in my mind. I realized how these rules, this previous programming was resisting my affirmations.

When I did my verbal affirmations, the chatter in my head was actually "talking" over my verbal affirmations. I was inches away from a mirror, looking directly in my own eyes, saying my affirmations and the voice in my head said:
"How could a gift to the world be so ugly?"

I was surprised by my own reaction. I started laughing. I mean belly laughing. I'm still laughing as I write this.

I don't know who that dude was but he's very rude and he's not my friend. I now know what he sounds like and how he talks.

I wanted to send this email to thank you. Because I'm not listening to that jerk anymore."

- Stacy Quinn

Monica_Leccese"I completed my first "Mindshift" after having battled the cacophony of voices and Master Trickster that seem to come along with changing thought patterns. I devoted a portion of each day to the practice, although not the same time each day: to the imaging, writing, and speaking of my declarations and affirmations. I recorded each "Gift" that I received and was sure to be grateful for each one, every day. By the end of the month my declarations were manifesting although not in an "overwhelming" manner. Still...at the end...I was so very grateful. I decided to commence another "shift" ...   I would create a circle, image my declarations, state them...but on a lesser scale than a full practice. After that decision I started to create a circle where I would light a flame to each direction. .......and that's when it happened......I shifted. I can only describe the feeling as the most amazing I have ever experienced: time, the world, my perspective...stopped; the energy rushing through me was so empowering it was nearly overwhelming. I had never before felt so alive, so en pointe in the moment, so...on...purpose. I had rubbed the magic lantern and the genie has held my hand ever since. I have been getting EVERYTHING I have been asking for, to the EXACT degree I have asked. Remember...you get what you ask for."
