Have a flu shot every year starting at age 50.

The hepatitis A vaccine is recommended for all travelers to certain countries.

Have a tetanus-diphtheria shot every 10 years.

Have a pneumonia vaccination once at age 65. (You may need it earlier if you have certain health problems, such as lung disease.)
