Take Charge of Your Health
Adult vaccines are key to healthy aging
One of the best ways to take control of your health, protecting both yourself and your loved ones, is to keep up to date with your vaccinations against the Big 5 preventable illnesses: influenza (flu), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), COVID-19, pneumococcal disease (including pneumonia) and shingles.
The older we get, the more likely we are to suffer severe consequences from getting sick, including increased risk of heart attack, hospitalization and worse.
Provincial funding for and access to vaccines differs across Canada. This means that while vaccines may be available in a province, they may not be affordable to those who are most vulnerable. CARP believes all older Canadians should have equitable access to the most effective vaccines available.
Join CARP to support our advocacy around equal access to expert-recommended adult vaccines that can keep Canadian seniors healthy and independent.
