Those who are younger than 65 and have a chronic illness are more likely to get pneumonia and should consult with their physician.

**The Naval Hospital continues to offer influenza vaccine for beneficiaries. We also are offering the herpes zoster vaccine for beneficiaries over age 60 while supplies last.
