Weakened Immune System and Adult Vaccination

Vaccines are especially critical for people with health conditions such as a weakened immune system.

If you have cancer or other immunocompromising conditions, talk with your doctor about:

• Influenza vaccine each year to protect against seasonal flu
• Tdap vaccine to protect against whooping cough and tetanus
• Pneumococcal vaccine (both types) to protect against pneumonia and other pneumococcal diseases
• HPV vaccine series to protect against human papillomavirus if you are a man or woman up to age 26 years
