‘Vaccination is generally perceived as medication that children undergo buy at elder age too there is every possibility that one attracts different ailments as immunity to fight infections decreases’ says Dr Manish Jain, General Physician at Bombay Hospital.

Speaking at IMA summit, Dr Jain said, ‘Many acute respiratory diseases, hepatitis, pneumonia, influenza and cardiovascular problems can be prevented through vaccination in later ages (adulthood).’ (Read: Your guide to vaccines)

‘The immuno-compromised people stand high chances of attracting diseases,’ said Dr Praveen Jadia, Medical Officer at CMHO Indore.

Dr Jadia said, ‘At Present our national immunization schedule covers children till the age of 5. However, elder people, especially transplant patients, HIV infected, people with kidney, liver and lungs related ailments remain at high risk throughout their lives.’ With immunization of adults, many such diseases can be prevented, agrees Dr Jadia.

‘For example, if HPV vaccination is given to adolescent girls (between 11 and 18), the chances of cervical cancer will go down considerably,’ opines the medical officer.

According to the doctors, vaccines such as rubella, influenza, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, pneumococcal, meningococcal, rota virus should be administered in adulthood with physician’s consultation.

Vaccinations can be given depending upon two different classifications; age group and disease group classification. In developed countries immunization schedule covers entire life span.

At present, some doctors at their private clinics and hospitals advice people to go for vaccination. But the awareness about this among the doctors is also very minimal, says Dr Jain. (Read: The unfortunate story of 37 deaths from a ‘good vaccine’)
