Vaccinations are recommended throughout life to prevent infectious diseases and their sequelae. Vaccines of adults is very important given that >25% of mortality are due to infectious diseases. Vaccines are recommended for adults on the basis of age, prior vaccinations, health conditions, lifestyle, occupation, and travel. There have been significant efforts to curb morbidity, mortality, and disability among adults particularly due to communicable diseases such as tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, human papilloma virus, Japanese encephalitis, measles, mumps, rubella, meningococcus, pneumococcus, typhoid, influenza, and chickenpox.
The following Vaccination schedules are recommended by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
The immunization of an adult depends on the previous immunization received in childhood. Unlike the Pediatric Immunization Guidelines, given by the Indian Academy of Pediatrics and the National Immunization Programs, the guidelines for vaccination in healthy adults vary from region to region.
If you are an adult, you can get vaccinated at any of the SupportCare4U endorsed clinics. These clinics have qualified medical professionals to address your concerns around vaccination.
Alternatively you can go to the nearest SupportCare4U endorsed hospital for vaccinations.
Vaccines are generally safe and well tolerated, however there is always a chance of adverse reactions, which are minimal. Therefore it’s important that you inform the doctor of any allergies that you may have or reactions that you had as a result of any medication previously. The doctor will guide you to the best possible solution.
Many new adult vaccines will be available in India over the next 1-5 years. Some of the possible vaccine candidates are for COVID-19, Dengue, Chikungunya & Malaria.
