Abstract

Vaccination is accepted as an integral part of preventive and community health. However, adult vaccination has not received the same attention as childhood immunization. This communication describes the advantages of adult immunization, and lists high priority populations for the same. It highlights the need to focus on health care workers, sanitation workers and food workers for effective prevention of disease through vaccination.
