Per CDC, for adults 50 and older, almost 1 in 3 people in the United States will develop shingles in their lifetime.  Your risk of shingles increases as you grow older.  The Shingles vaccine protects against shingles and complications from the disease.

All adults need the seasonal flu (influenza) vaccine every year. The Flu vaccine is especially important for people with chronic health conditions, pregnant women, and older adults. Over 60 percent of seasonal flu-rated hospitalizations occur in people 65 years and older.

Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV15 or PCV20), which protects against serious pneumococcal disease and pneumonia (recommended for all adults 65 years or older who have never received a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine); if PCV15 is used, it should be followed by a dose of pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23), which also protects against serious pneumococcal disease

Our immune system weakens as we get older, and this puts us at higher risk for certain diseases. The best way to prevent these is by keeping up with vaccinations.
