Your immune system could use a little help as you age. Find out which vaccinations and lifestyle changes can do you the most good.
Your immune system’s role is to actively fight infections and illness in order to keep you healthy. But as you get older, your immune system changes, making it more difficult to fight off a cold or beat back the flu, according to the National Institute on Aging. This means that, as you age, you may get sick more often. It also means that vaccines against certain infections might be slightly less effective.
“We know that the number of immune cells generally stays about the same as we age, but how they work is less effective,” says Carmel Dyer, MD, a professor in the department of geriatric and palliative medicine at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth, and executive director of the UTHealth Consortium on Aging in Houston. “You’re more prone to get infections as you age.”
However, once you know what steps you can take to protect or even boost your immune system, you can improve your chances of remaining healthy as you get older. Making healthy choices each day and throughout the changing seasons can help. Start with these six steps:
1. Get vaccinated. Just because vaccines may be slightly less effective as you age doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get them. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the following vaccines:
Annual flu shot. “Older adults tend to produce a slightly lower antibody response to the flu shot,” says David Watts, MD, an associate professor of geriatrics at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. However, the CDC estimates that 60 percent of hospitalizations for flu-related illness each year are people older than 65. Getting an annual flu shot may reduce your risk for hospitalization.
Pneumonia. Once you reach 65, two pneumococcal vaccines are recommended: PCV13 (pneumococcal conjugate vaccine) and PPSV23 (pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine). Dr. Watts recommends getting these shots a year apart to make sure you have the most protection for the rest of your life.
Zoster vaccine. If you had chicken pox, the virus that caused it might be dormant in your body. If it comes back, you can get shingles — a painful rash that can potentially lead to long-term nerve pain. The zoster vaccine may help prevent shingles. The CDC recommends that everyone over 60 get the zoster vaccine — whether you’ve previously had shingles or not — provided you’re healthy enough to do so.
You need one booster in adulthood for tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis, Watts says. After that, you should get a tetanus-diphtheria booster every 10 years, according to the CDC. Pertussis, more commonly called “whooping cough,” in particular is a danger not only to you, but to any unvaccinated grand- or great-grandchildren you might be around.
2. Exercise regularly. Physical activity helps boost the production of immune system cells and lower inflammation in your body, according to a review of research on exercise and immunity published in the journal Biogerontology in March 2016. The researchers note that people who have been moderately active throughout their lives have the most immune system benefits. The CDC recommends getting at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity each week and two sessions a week of muscle-strengthening activities, such as lifting weights.
3. Get a good night’s sleep. People who don’t sleep well appear to have more inflammation, which suggests their immune system is working overtime. At the same time, people who are fighting infection and illness might not be sleeping well, according to an article published in August 2016 in Neuropsychopharmacology. “Sleep is important to all of us,” says Dr. Dyer. The time that you go to sleep and wake up can change as you age, she adds, but you should try to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep daily — which is also a recommended by the National Sleep Foundation. If you’re having trouble getting enough quality sleep, talk to your doctor.
4. Eat a healthy diet. “One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was that, when you look down at your plate, you should see a variety of colors,” Dyer says. A rainbow of fruits and vegetables indicates a wide range of nutrients. For seniors, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics specifically recommends a protein-rich diet that also focuses on vitamins A, B, C, and E, as well as zinc, folate, selenium, and prebiotics and probiotics to help protect your immune system. Talk to your doctor about whether you should take any additional vitamin or mineral supplements.
5. Lower stress. It’s important to find fun, productive ways to manage stress. For instance, going on a vacation and meditating both can reduce stress levels, which might benefit immunity, according to a study published in Translational Psychiatry in August 2016.
6. Wash your hands. Practicing good hand hygiene can go a long way toward keeping you from getting sick from other people’s germs, or from passing on your own. The CDC recommends washing hands with soap and water before and after preparing and eating food, and after:
Caring for someone who is sick
Using the toilet
Blowing your nose
Treating a cut or wound
Changing a diaper
Be sure to wash for 20 seconds. Use alcohol-based sanitizer if you don’t have soap and water handy.

“We, as a government, are committed to working with the Federal organs of security as well as non-governmental organizations and well-meaning citizens to pursue with vigour the safe return of captives, displaced persons and vulnerable population of our great state.”
Her freedom, the government pointed out, came as a result of a joint coordinated engagement involving key stakeholders.
“It is an outcome,” said the statement, “of a preliminary level negotiation involving the state government, the Kalthium Foundation for Peace, a non-governmental organization with intermediatory negotiation with the leadership of the terror group handled by a prominent investigative journalist with critical access.”
The state government stated that the step was in line with its desire to work with strategic partners to open lines of communication with the insurgents as a means of freeing several non-combatant captives of the terror groups.
It said: “The strategic interventionist team was empaneled to use every necessary tools and good spirited individuals to engage the insurgents in non-combatant ways as a means of de-escalation framework that will eventually result in freeing more captives and safe return of displaced persons in the state.
“The state government shall continually bring the media up to speed as may be necessary.”

Chile’s win over Thailand on Thursday was not enough to stop the Super Falcons from reaching the knockout stages for the first time since 1999.
Nigeria have finally ended their 20-year wait for a spot in the playoffs after advancing to the Round of 16 of the Women’s World Cup in France on Thursday.
The Super Falcons failed to go beyond the knockout stage since 1999, when they reached the quarter-final in the USA.
With Brazil, China and Cameroon already qualified as the three best third-placed teams, the Nigerians were hoping Chile failed to beat Thailand by a three-goal advantage in Rennes.
Despite Chile’s 2-0 win over Thailand in final Group E game in Montpellier, Thomas Dennerby’s side claimed the last spot among the four best third-placed teams, on superior goals.
The African champions had lost 3-0 to Norway in Reims, but defeated South Korea 2-0 in Grenoble, before bowing to Les Bleues in their final Group A match in Rennes.
Having secured their passage to the knockout stage, the Africans will face Group B winners and former champions Germany in Grenoble on June 22.
With Cameroon already advancing, it means that Nigeria will be the second African side in the competition after the elimination of South Africa from the group stage.
It is also the first time since the inception of the showpiece in 1991 that two African sides reached the knockout stages.
The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Friday announced a 100% increase in the allowances of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority officials to encourage and motivate them to perform their duties diligently.
“As from the end of the month of July, we shall increase your allowances by 100 per cent. This would enable you to perform optimally. To whom much is given, much is expected,” Governor Sanwo-Olu said.
Football’s world governing body has confirmed that its secretary general Fatma Samoura has been appointed ‘Fifa General Delegate for Africa’ in a bid to improve governance on the continent.
Samoura, from Senegal, will take charge for six months from 1 August, with the relationship “renewable with the agreement of both organisations”.
“It was also agreed that Fifa and Caf will undertake as soon as possible a full forensic audit of Caf,” the statement added.
Samoura, 56, will remain secretary general of Fifa but will delegate various functions to others.
Fifa called the move an “exceptional and temporary measure” as it outlined the precise role the former United Nations official will take.
While Fifa is used to appointing so-called ‘Normalisation Committees’ to run member associations that require help, it is unusual for it to assist a confederation in similar difficulties.
Caf President Ahmad has been under scrutiny recently on several fronts, which include being questioned by French authorities in Paris in early June before being released without charge.
This was as “part of a probe into corruption, breach of trust and forgery” – with the 59-year-old from Madasgascar dismissing all allegations against him as false.
Other recent issues include controversy relating to the African Champions League final and rescheduling the timing of the 2019, 2021 and 2023 Africa Cup of Nations finals.
He is also being investigated by Fifa’s ethics committee, whose probe will run independently and parallel to Samoura’s role, said a source with knowledge of the process.
The statement added that Ahmad proposed Fifa’s “expertise to assess the current situation in the African governing body … to ensure that Caf functions with transparency [and] efficiency while abiding to the highest governance”.
Assisted by several experts “in a spirit of partnership with President Ahmad and his team”, Samoura is set to:
To oversee operational management of Caf, including governance and administrative procedures
To ensure the efficient and professional organization of all Caf competitions
To support the growth and development of football in all countries and regions of Caf
These roles, which will run until at least 31 January, were approved unanimously by Caf’s Executive Committee, the statement added.
The seas off West Africa’s oil-rich coastline are now the most dangerous in the world for shipping, according to a new report.
One Earth Future, which produces an annual State of Maritime Piracy, says that while attacks have been falling substantially in some regions of the world, in West Africa they’ve been on the rise and are now more frequent than anywhere else.
So why the increase in West Africa, and what shipping is being targeted?
Worldwide piracy and armed robbery at sea incidences
Data for 2015 only counted incidences in Southeast Asia
Source: The State of Maritime Piracy, One Earth Future
What is piracy?
A strict definition of maritime piracy only includes attacks on shipping on the high seas – that is, more than 12 nautical miles off the coastline and not under the jurisdiction of any state.
Inside a country’s territorial waters and within port facilities, these attacks are defined as armed robberies at sea.
However, the data we’ve used from this latest report combines these two sets of data to give an overall picture of incidents at sea both inshore and offshore.
In 2018, there were 112 such incidents in West African waters.
It’s not just the huge tankers exporting oil and gas from Nigeria and Ghana that are targeted.
Commercial ships from smaller countries are also in the sights of the pirates.
At a recent event in London, President Faure Gnassingbé of Togo – a country sandwiched between these two regional giants – highlighted his own concerns at the rise in attacks on regional shipping.
“Our region is distinguished by the resurgence of transnational criminality on the high seas in the Gulf of Guinea,” said Mr Gnassingbé.
Why are attacks rising?
Most of the attacks have been against ships involved in oil and gas transportation, such as tankers, bulk carriers and tugs. Fishing vessels have also been targeted.
The coastline off Nigeria saw the most attacks in 2018. This is partly because of “petro-piracy”, targeting tankers from Nigeria’s rich oil and gas fields.
There were also incidents reported at the loading and anchorage facilities in the Nigerian port of Lagos.
Piracy in the form of hijacking and kidnapping for ransom payments was also common off the coasts of Benin, Ghana, Nigeria, Congo-Brazzaville and Cameroon.
Rich pickings at sea, political instability, the lack of law enforcement and poverty on land are all factors which have contributed to the increase in piracy.
Most of the seafarers affected are not from the region. Around half are from the Philippines, followed by India, Ukraine and Nigeria.
One of the reasons West Africa is now the number one spot for piracy is because of the downward trends recorded elsewhere.
The East African shipping routes along the Somali coastline have been notorious for hijackings and robberies.
But since peaking in 2011, rates of piracy there have fallen off dramatically in recent years.
Local efforts on land in Somalia to change attitudes towards permitting piracy and building legal capacity to prosecute criminals have also helped improve the situation.
The Horn of Africa used to have a big piracy problem, but it’s now much reduced.
In Asia, the Malacca Strait, a busy, commercially important stretch of water between Malaysia and Indonesia, experienced a high number of attacks in 2015.
Concerted action by regional naval forces has reduced the problem there, but piracy still persists.
Attacks against shipping in the Caribbean and off the coast of Latin American have, however, risen.
Venezuela in particular has become a hotspot for piracy.
“Political and economic instability is a big factor there,” says Lydelle Joubert, an expert on piracy at One Earth Future.
