長者因免疫功能衰退，罹患肺炎及其併發症的風險顯著增加。肺炎鏈球菌疫苗（Pneumococcal vaccine）是預防長者社區型肺炎（CAP）及其引發的敗血症、腦膜炎等嚴重併發症的核心疫苗。護理師應主動評估並建議長者接種，以降低住院率與死亡率。其他疫苗如 B、A、D 雖重要，但非針對長者呼吸道併發症的首選。
Older adults are at increased risk for respiratory infections due to immune senescence, making the pneumococcal vaccine a priority to prevent community-acquired pneumonia and invasive diseases. While other vaccines like varicella, hepatitis A, and HPV are important, they do not specifically target the high-risk respiratory complications prevalent in this population.
