RSV Disease Information
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common and contagious respiratory virus that typically causes mild symptoms, but it can cause severe infections of the lower respiratory tract such as pneumonia. RSV can also cause exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and heart failure.1,2
Shingles Disease Information
Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a painful, blistering skin rash caused by reactivation of the varicella zoster virus (the same virus that causes chickenpox). Individuals 50 years old and above are at an increased risk of shingles. 1 in 3 people will develop shingles in their lifetime.3,4
Meningococcal Disease Information
Meningococcal disease, which most often presents as meningitis or septicemia, is an uncommon but serious infection caused by bacteria called Neisseria meningitidis.5 The bacteria can be carried in the nose or back of the throat and can spread by saliva and respiratory secretions during close or prolonged contact.5,6
Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis (Tdap) Disease Information
What is Tdap?
The Tdap vaccine is a combination vaccine that helps provide protection against 3 serious bacterial diseases7:
Tetanus (T): Caused by bacteria that enter the body through cuts or wounds, tetanus leads to painful muscle stiffness and can result in severe complications, including difficulty breathing and death.7
Diphtheria (d): This contagious disease can cause a thick coating in the throat, leading to breathing difficulties, several more severe complications, and in rare cases, death.7,8
Pertussis (ap): Also known as whooping cough, this highly contagious disease causes severe coughing fits that can make it hard to breathe. It is particularly dangerous for infants and young children, potentially leading to pneumonia, convulsions, and brain damage.7
Flu Disease Information
Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and lungs. It can cause mild to severe illness and, at times, can lead to death.9
Hepatitis A&B Disease Information
Hepatitis A is a disease of the liver caused by infection with the hepatitis A virus (HAV). People who get hepatitis A may feel sick for a few weeks to several months but usually recover completely and do not have lasting liver damage.10
Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver caused by an infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Some people who become infected can go on to develop a chronic, or lifelong, infection. Over time, chronic hepatitis B can cause serious liver damage, and even liver cancer.11
