Vaccinations are a critical component of preventive healthcare for adults. While many people associate vaccines with childhood, maintaining up-to-date vaccinations throughout adulthood is crucial for ongoing health and protection against various infectious diseases
Vaccinations help prevent serious diseases that can have serious health consequences. Diseases such as influenza, pneumococcal disease and hepatitis can be serious, especially for older adults and those with underlying medical conditions.
Vaccinating adults can limit and prevent outbreaks of disease that may reoccur because of time between vaccinations. This is particularly important for diseases such as measles and whooping cough.
Preventing disease through vaccination reduces healthcare costs associated with treating infections and managing complications, including hospitalizations, long-term care and lost productivity due to illness.

Regularly updating and adhering to the vaccination schedule ensures optimal protection against preventable diseases.
