Im 65 years old and want to know if it is advisable to have a flu injection?

Yes: Yearly Flu vaccine is recommended for everyone, especially those who are more susceptible to infection. Additionally, older adults should be vaccinated for Shingles, Pnuemonia and keep their Tetanus vaccine current. If you have grandchildren, get a booster shot for Pertussis. If you travel, get vaccinated for Hepatitis A.
