Description

Elizabeth Holguin reviews the immunizations recommended for older adults, when to get them, and what to expect in the days after receiving a given immunization. We also discuss how vaccines are developed, including their safety and efficacy. Influenza, COVID-19, and other immunizations are covered in our discussion, as are immunity and immune health.
