Fall is the time when we need to update our vaccinations. This issue’s TIP includes valuable information about this year’s vaccines and, with Covid-19 rates rising, the latest Covid-19 vaccine. We also discuss the timing of and eligibility recommendations for Pneumococcal pneumonia, Shingles (zoster) and Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough) or Td (tetanus and diphtheria) and RSV vaccines.
Check out the upcoming Caring Collaborative events, including “The Peaceful Power Workshop” on Wednesday, September 19th and “Medicare Open Enrollment - What You Need to Know for 2025” on Thursday, November 14th.

Caring Collaborative is here for you. Reach out to your neighborhood group buddies. Go for a walk, have a get together with a group member or a few group members. If you’re not in a neighborhood group, please send a note to coordinator@ttncaringcollaborative.org for more information.
