Adult vaccination saves lives and is cost-effective. During influenza epidemics, more than 20,000 estimated deaths occur in the United States. Despite the benefits of adult vaccination and the availability of usage guidelines, vaccination rates remain low. In 1999, only 67% and 55% of elderly persons reported receiving influenza and pneumoccal vaccines.

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 2011
Immunization has effectively decreased the burden of disease on society. Nevertheless, over 50,000 deaths occur annually in the United States from vaccine-preventable disease, and nearly all of these occur in adults. It is essential for primary care physicians to be knowledgeable about the unique immunization-related needs of adults and to be aware of ...

Pneumococcal vaccination in adults
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2005Pneumococci remain the most common etiology of community-acquired pneumonia in adults, with significant attendant mortality in the elderly. With the recognition of increasing rates of drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae in recent years, efforts to prevent disease through vaccination have gained greater impetus. The 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine is

Vaccinations for the Older Adult
Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 2016Vaccine response declines with age, but currently recommended vaccines are safe and effective in reducing, if not preventing, disease altogether. Over the last decade, advancements in vaccine immunogenicity, either by increasing dose or conjugating vaccines to protein, have resulted in more immunogenic vaccines that also seem more effective in reducing

The Lancet, 1986
A low dose (1.5 Lf) diphtheria vaccine for use in adults was given to 310 university student volunteers whose diphtheria antitoxin titres were less than 0.1 IU per ml. The incidence of adverse reactions was low. Postimmunisation blood samples taken from 134 of the students showed that in susceptible vaccinees the vaccine induced titres of antitoxin ...

Vaccines are important for preventing infections in adults aged ≥65 years. Older adults are at increased risk for complications from vaccine-preventable illnesses due to age-associated changes in immune function and chronic medical comorbidities. Vaccination rates for older adults remain low despite widely accepted practice guidelines.
