germs that cause a disease. For example, the vaccine that prevents measles actually contains the measles virus. The reason we are able to receive vaccinations is that the germ has already been killed or weakened to the point where it won\u2019t make you sick. When you are given a vaccine, it will help to stimulate your immune system, producing antibodies and helping you develop an immunity to the disease without contracting it first. Vaccines are not a cure to diseases, instead, they help prevent them. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Why Do the Elderly Need Vaccinations?<\/b><\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For older adults 65 and older, vaccinations are extremely important. The older you get, the weaker your immune system becomes, and the harder it is for you to fight off infections. Vaccinations are even more important for individuals with ongoing health conditions like diabetes or heart disease. You can also help prevent the spread of diseases within your community or to your family or friends by getting vaccinated.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-17ba66e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"17ba66e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Elderly Vaccinations Offered in Bridgeport <\/b><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The elderly are at an increased risk for many vaccine-preventable diseases.
