It’s no surprise that TriCounty Health Department is a huge supporter of childhood vaccinations. What some people may not know is that adult vaccinations are also recommended. TriCounty Health shares that all adults need a Td or Tdap vaccine every 10 years or sooner if you are injured. A flu shot is also recommended every year as well as additional vaccinations for adults with specific jobs or chronic health conditions. TriCounty Health is also encouraging adults to get the HPV vaccine, Gardasil. It has now been approved for adults through the age of 45. The CDC reports that Gardasil was 88 percent effective in the prevention of conditions related to HPV. For more information on adult vaccinations, visit
