Adult Vaccinations: Recommended (preventive medicine) vaccinations for 65 year olds: pneumococcal (or pneumonia) -one time vaccine; herpes zoster (shingles) -one time vaccine; tetanus (tdap if interacting with infants regularly)-every 10 years; influenza vaccine (yearly). Note-the shingles vaccine is not well reimbursed by insurance companies and can cost $100-$300 out of pocket.
