Adult Immunizations
Vaccines, or immunizations, lower a person’s chances for getting certain diseases. They have greatly reduced—or completely gotten rid of—many infectious diseases that used kill or seriously harm babies, children and adults.
Mountain Pacific partners with health care providers and other community members to improve immunization rates among adults, especially for influenza (the flu), pneumonia and shingles.

Vaccines You Need
If you work directly with patients or handle material that could spread infection, you should get appropriate vaccines to reduce the chance that you will contract or spread vaccine-preventable diseases.
Other Vaccines May be Needed
Health care workers should make sure they are up to date on any other vaccines routinely recommended for them based on age or other factors. Talk with your doctor to learn which vaccines are recommended for you. These may include:
· HPV vaccine (human papillomavirus) – recommended for adults ages 18 through 26 years and adults ages 27 through 45 years based on shared clinical decision-making
· Shingles vaccine (zoster) – recommended for all adults 50 years of age and older
