Aging And Immunization Open Access Articles

Vaccines are especially important for older adults. As you get older, your immune system weakens and it can be more difficult to fight off infections. You're more likely to get diseases like the flu, pneumonia, and shingles and to have complications that can lead to long-term illness, hospitalization, and even death. Vaccines are especially important for older adults. As you get older, your immune system weakens and it can be more difficult to fight off infections. You're more likely to get diseases like the flu, pneumonia, and shingles and to have complications that can lead to long-term illness, hospitalization, and even death. Global aging is exponentially increasing in both developed and developing countries. Vaccination is the most efficient strategy to prevent infectious diseases. The increased vulnerability to infection of the elderly makes them a particularly important target population for vaccination. infectious diseases contribute significantly to morbidity, ongoing functional decline and mortality in older people. Several of these diseases are preventable by vaccination, but vaccine coverage is suboptimal for all of these.
