More Information about the vaccines:

  • Flu Vaccination - You should be in good health at the time you receive the shot (e.g., free from a cold). Pregnant women should see their primary care physician for the vaccination.
  • Pneumococcal Vaccination – Pneumococcal disease is an infection caused by Streptococcus pneumonia bacteria, sometimes referred to as pneumococcus. Pneumococcus can cause many types of illness, including pneumonia and meningitis. There are vaccines to prevent pneumococcal disease. Pneumococcal vaccinations are employees who are 60 years of age and older.
  • Shingles Vaccination – Shingles is a painful skin rash, often with blisters that is caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that causes chickenpox. Anyone who has had chickenpox can develop shingles because VZV remains in the nerve cells of the body after the chickenpox infections clears and VZV can reappear years later causing shingles. Shingles vaccine is recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) to reduce the risk of shingles and its associated pain in people 60 years old or older. This vaccine is a 2-part series. Shingles Vaccinations are offered to employees who are 60 years of age and older.
