So my fellow old people: get your vaccines for shingles, pneumococcal disease, RSV, etc.

Minneapolis! Pediatric trial of a new pneumococcal vaccine, control group receives the already-approved one.
I'm recruiting for a pediatric pneumococcal vaccine study for children 15mo to <5 years in Minneapolis. No placebo, standard side effects. 2 in person visits and a phone call and requires a couple 5ml blood draws and a week of reaction monitoring surveys. It is well compensated. Message for details.

Rebelling against my parents by getting my shingles and pneumococcal vaccines 20 years too early

1/2
More reasons to keep your vaccines up to date The shingles shot doesn’t just stop pain…it's associated with a significant reduction your risk of dementia including Alzheimer’s by as much as 35%. Protect your mind while you protect your body. Influenza vax? 30-40% reduction. Pneumococcal? 2--30%

I am really laser focused on getting all my adult patients updated on their vaccines. A few vaccine doses I gave out in clinic today:
- pneumococcal vaccine
- Td booster
- Covid booster
- MMR
- HPV
- Hep B vaccines
8/8 acceptances, zero refusals.
OFFER, COUNSEL, VACCINATE

Got my pneumococcal and second shingles vaccines today and I'm feeling a bit hit-by-truckish this evening. Worth it though. Eat shit, RFK

Oh, probably for pneumococcal infections.
September 26, 2026 at 12:00 AM
2/ Many vaccines have been tested against placebos—including saline or other controlled comparisons. For example:
• Rubella
• Pneumococcal
• Hib
• HPV
• Salk Polio
• Measles
• Tdap
• COVID-19

Quick reminder that Pneumococcal vaccination is recommended for adults over 50, infants, and for anyone inbetween with risk factors including respiratory allergies, asthma, diabetes...basically "upon request."

Great call by the US CDC. Invasive pneumococcal disease is common and deadly. Newer vaccines are highly effective, and also have important herd (indirect) effects because they prevent bacterial carriage.
December 8, 2024 at 3:37 AM
The key: more vaccines = massive public health wins since 1986:

Invasive Hib disease in infants fell 99%

Pediatric hepatitis A and B plummeted >90%

Chickenpox hospitalizations and deaths down ~90%

Rotavirus and pneumococcal hospitalizations in young children dropped >80%
June 13, 2025 at 5:26 AM
This info has been slow to get out: the recommended age for adult pneumococcal vaccine has been lowered from 65+ to 50+ because the rates of invasive pneumococcal disease (life-threatening) have been increasing, and death rates for 50-64yo are approaching the 65+ group.

In memory of Val Kilmer, who died of pneumonia, I would like to remind you that the CDC recommends that everyone over 50 and under 5 get a pneumonia vaccine. (Other ages as well, if you have certain risk conditions.) I got mine before the inauguration.

Pneumococcal Vaccination
Young children, older adults, and people with certain risk conditions need pneumococcal vaccines.
