📖About Adult Vaccination
Adult vaccination involves administering recommended vaccines to protect against diseases such as influenza, pneumonia, hepatitis, tetanus, shingles and COVID-19. Unlike childhood immunisation, adult schedules are tailored to age, occupation, travel plans, pre-existing conditions and prior vaccination history. Regular vaccination reduces the risk of severe illness, hospitalisation and disease transmission to vulnerable family members. It is a key component of preventive healthcare, especially for older adults and those with chronic illnesses.
