Booster Shots - Not Just For Kids
While the medical community debates the value of the annual checkup, patients should check to see whether they need to go anyway -- for immunizations.
The Centers for Disease Control publishes a Recommended Adult Immunization Schedule. Adults may need shots if
- they aren't immune to certain diseases -- for instance, if they can't show they were previously immunized; or
- they have certain risk factors.
The charts are too complicated to explain here; better to follow the CDC link above and think about what shots you might need.
Maybe the annual checkup isn't such a bad idea after all!
