Flu is a contagious disease that spreads around the
United States every year, usually between October
and May. Anyone can get the flu, but it is more
dangerous for some people. Infants and young
children, people 65 years and older, pregnant
women, and people with certain health conditions or
a weakened immune system are at greatest risk of flu
complications.
Pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus infections, and ear
infections are examples of flu-related complications.
If you have a medical condition, such as heart
disease, cancer, or diabetes, flu can make it worse.
Flu can cause fever and chills, sore throat, muscle
aches, fatigue, cough, headache, and runny or stuffy
nose. Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea,
though this is more common in children than adults.
In an average year, thousands of people in the
United States die from flu, and many more are
hospitalized. Flu vaccine prevents millions of
illnesses and flu-related visits to the doctor each year

prevent shingles.
Shingles (also called herpes zoster, or just zoster)
is a painful skin rash, usually with blisters. In addition
to the rash, shingles can cause fever, headache,
chills, or upset stomach. Rarely, shingles can lead to
complications such as pneumonia, hearing problems,
blindness, brain inflammation (encephalitis), or death.
The risk of shingles increases with age. The most
common complication of shingles is long-term nerve
pain called postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). PHN occurs
in the areas where the shingles rash was and can last for
months or years after the rash goes away. The pain from
PHN can be severe and debilitating.
The risk of PHN increases with age. An older adult with
shingles is more likely to develop PHN and have longer
lasting and more severe pain than a younger person.
People with weakened immune systems also have a
higher risk of getting shingles and complications from
the disease.
Shingles is caused by varicella-zoster virus, the
same virus that causes chickenpox. After you have
chickenpox, the virus stays in your body and can
cause shingles later in life. Shingles cannot be passed
from one person to another, but the virus that causes
shingles can spread and cause chickenpox in someone
who has never had chickenpox or has never received
chickenpox vaccine
pneumococcal disease.
Pneumococcal disease refers to any illness caused
by pneumococcal bacteria. These bacteria can cause
many types of illnesses, including:
Pneumonia (infection of the lungs)
Ear infections
Sinus infections
Meningitis (infection of the tissue covering the
brain and spinal cord)
Bacteremia (bloodstream infection)
Anyone can get pneumococcal disease, but young
children, older adults, and people with certain risk
factors are at the highest risk.
Most pneumococcal infections are mild. However,
some can result in long-term problems, such as brain
damage or hearing loss. Meningitis, bacteremia, and
pneumonia caused by pneumococcal disease can
lead to death.
(PPSV23) can prevent pneumococcal disease.

be especially serious for infants and older adults.
RSV is the most common cause of hospitalization
in U.S. infants. Infants up to 12 months of age
(especially those 6 months and younger) and
children who were born prematurely, or who
have chronic lung or heart disease, or a weakened
immune system, are at increased risk of severe RSV
disease.
RSV infections can be dangerous for certain adults.
Adults at highest risk for severe RSV disease
include older adults, especially those with chronic
heart or lung disease, a weakened immune system,
certain other chronic medical conditions, or who
live in nursing homes.
RSV spreads through direct contact with the virus,
such as when droplets from an infected person’s
cough or sneeze contact your eyes, nose, or mouth.
It can also be spread by someone touching a surface,
such as a doorknob, that has the virus on it, and then
touching your face.
Symptoms of RSV infection may include runny nose,
decreased appetite, coughing, sneezing, fever, or
wheezing. In very young infants, symptoms of RSV
may also include irritability (fussiness), decreased
activity, or apnea (pauses in breathing for more than
10 seconds).
and pertussis.
Diphtheria and pertussis spread from person
to person. Tetanus enters the body through cuts
or wounds.
TETANUS (T) causes painful stiffening of the
muscles. Tetanus can lead to serious health
problems, including being unable to open the
mouth, having trouble swallowing and breathing,
or death.
DIPHTHERIA (D) can lead to difficulty breathing,
heart failure, paralysis, or death.
PERTUSSIS (aP), also known as “whooping
cough,” can cause uncontrollable, violent coughing
that makes it hard to breathe, eat, or drink.
Pertussis can be extremely serious especially in
babies and young children, causing pneumonia,
convulsions, brain damage, or death. In teens and
adults, it can cause weight loss, loss of bladder
control, passing out, and rib fractures from severe
coughing.
