Anyone can get pneumococcal disease, but children under 2 years old, people with certain medical conditions or other risk factors, and adults 65 years or older are at the highest risk.

How can you protect yourself from hepatitis A?

Practicing good hand hygiene โ€” including washing hands after using the bathroom, changing diapers, and before preparing or eating food โ€” plays an important role in preventing the spread of hepatitis A, but the best way to prevent hepatitis A is through vaccination with the hepatitis A vaccine!
