Edmond Summit Rotarian and avid Red Raider fan, Dr. Michael Olay presented a timely topic last Tuesday on Adult Vaccinations.
Of particular interest is a new version of shingles vaccine that has nearly 50% improvement above the current Zoster vaccine that many of our group has taken. Also, the HPV vaccine that had been prescribed primarily to the female population is not being recommended for the teen male population also to help prevent the spread of genital herpes, etc..
The topic was of great importance and relevant to our membership. I highly recommend readers access the CDC website listed in the paragraph below where you will find charts to print out to remind you of when you need to be expecting to get the next important vaccine to help keep you aging along with the rest of the population, as opposed to the alternative, eh!
Michael discussed the schedule recommended by the CDC using their adult vaccination chart, and interjected some findings that have not made it to the CDC (Center for Disease Control) chart as of the meeting regarding the latest vaccines that have been approved by the FDA and findings from the latest influenza outbreak. The vaccination chart can be viewed and downloaded in pocket size and poster size at: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/imz/adult.html
Great presentation Michael! Thanks!
