Evening Edition: The CDC Lowers Recommended Age For Pneumonia Vaccine

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for the first
time ever, announced they have lowered the recommended age for
adults to receive a pneumonia vaccine from 65 down to 50. The
lowered age is intended to protect against pneumococcal disease at
the age when it is most dangerous. Also, medical specialists are
now suggesting adults get a measles vaccine booster shot. FOX’s
Tonya J. Powers speaks with Dr. Marc Siegel, senior medical analyst
for the FOX News Channel and a Clinical Professor of Medicine and a
practicing internist at NYU Langone Medical Center, who says he
sees why the CDC has made this decision, shares tips on staying
healthy while traveling and tells us what he learned from an
interview with the head of the WHO. Click Here To Follow 'The FOX
