    Option (a), (b) and (c)

    Explanation:

    At the old age, a person's immune system becomes weak and the person becomes more prone to diseases like influenza or common cold or flu.

    These infections are more common at the age above 60 years where a severe condition of cold can also lead to Pneumonia.

    Also those people which did not have the Tetanus vaccine at the age of 11 or 12 must have the Tetanus Tdap.

    The lack of immunity to fight against seasonal changes make it necessary for the elderly people to get influenza vaccine.

    Also Pneumonia vaccine provides protection against 23 types of pneumococcal bacteria thus it necessitates the vaccination of Pneumonia.
