As we age, our immunity can weaken, increasing the risk of infections. mahiShots offers vaccines specifically for older adults to strengthen defenses and promote healthy aging. We combine expert care with education, helping you stay protected and independent.
The Shingles vaccine protects older adults from painful rash and nerve complications caused by the chickenpox virus reactivation. Recommended from age 50 for strong, lasting relief and protection.
Know MorePneumococcal vaccines protect against pneumonia, meningitis, and blood infections. Recommended for seniors and people with chronic conditions to reduce severe complications and hospitalisation risks.
Know MoreThis combined vaccine protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough. Adults need boosters every ten years, especially for injuries, pregnancy, and travel protection.
Know MoreThe Influenza vaccine protects from changing seasonal flu strains. It lowers hospitalisation risk, especially for seniors, pregnant women, and people with chronic conditions, ensuring safer yearly immunity.
Know MoreGood health should remain a priority at every age. As the body gets older, the immune system weakens, making it harder for seniors to fight infections or recover quickly from illness. In the geriatric populations, even common infections like flu or pneumonia can lead to hospitalisation, prolonged recovery, or serious complications affecting the heart, lungs, and overall mobility. Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect seniors and maintain their independence, stability, and quality of life.
At Manipal Hospitals, we provide essential vaccines recommended for older adults to prevent diseases that commonly affect people above 60 years of age. These include Influenza, Pneumococcal (PCV and PPSV), Tetanus-Diphtheria-Pertussis (Td/Tdap), and Zoster (Shingles). These vaccines help safeguard against conditions that can severely impact long-term health and daily functioning if not prevented early.
As immunity declines naturally with age, the risk of severe infections increases. Chronic health issues like diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, and respiratory disorders further heighten vulnerability. Vaccination serves as a shield that reduces illness severity and helps prevent avoidable medical emergencies.
Benefits of timely vaccination in seniors:
Vaccination enables seniors to live life actively and confidently.
Each individual receives a tailored schedule based on age, medical history, and risk level.
Influenza vaccine
Annual protection against seasonal flu, strongly advised for those with chronic diseases.
Pneumococcal vaccine (PCV + PPSV)
Prevents pneumonia, bloodstream infections, and meningitis; PCV first, followed by PPSV after 6 to 12 months.
Td or Tdap vaccine
Protection from tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough with scheduled boosters.
Zoster vaccine for Shingles
Prevents a painful nerve condition that can cause long-lasting nerve damage.
Our clinical team closely monitors timelines for boosters and additional doses based on individual health needs.
The goal is to provide protection with comfort, confidence, and minimal disruption to daily life.
A long and fulfilling life deserves strong health at its foundation. Vaccination empowers seniors to stay resilient, socially active, and protected from infections that pose greater risks with age. Choosing preventive care today helps maintain independence and vitality throughout the golden years.
