My father is 64 years. What are the yearly vaccines he could take for better immunity?
I have read that once a person ages, it is important for them to take certain vaccines to improve immunity. What are the must take vaccines for the aged people?

Take influenza yearly and pneumococcus every 5 years. Take vit C, E, and D.
PPSV is usually given as a routine vaccination in adults who are 65 years and older. Pneumococcal polysaccharides vaccine (PPSV) (website source)
Neisseria meningitides vaccine and Streptococcus pneumonia vaccine. These vaccines are geared toward individuals with low immunity and individuals with waning immunity (elderly population).
And of course the yearly flu vaccine, available to everyone.
Pneumovax.
