It is important that you stay up to date on recommended vaccines. Getting vaccines and boosters on time helps prevent serious illness from many different diseases.
The protection from some vaccines can fade over time, and you might need additional vaccine doses (boosters) to stay protected. For example, adults should get a tetanus booster every 10 years to protect against infection from dirty wounds. Talk to your health care provider to see if you have missed any vaccines or need a booster.
