6. What is IMMUNIZATION?
• Immunization refers to the artificial
induction of immunity. It can be by
Active Immunization: the use of live
attenuated infectious agents or inactivated
toxins, or antigens obtained by genetic
recombination OR
Passive Immunization: temporary
immunity obtained by the administration
of immunoglobulins or antitoxins.
6Source : Dictionary of Public Health, J Kishore - 2007
7. WHY ADULT
IMMUNIZATION?
•“Disease-free young and older adults can remain
active, healthy participants in society / contribute a lot
in NATION building and more fully generating money..
• Researchers strongly feel… this create a Win- win
situation for all individuals in the society.
• Health costs for curing will be contained, and
economic productivity will go up.
8. WHY NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT
ADULT IMMUNIZATION ?
In INDIA, there is often lack of resources, political will and
awareness on immunization and the impact on health
among DOCTORS & POLICY MAKERS, it takes years to
build system & evolve.
•As we have seen with childhood vaccinations access. …
raising awareness and understanding of how vaccines can
improve health and economies has taken so long. Still we
are far away from 100% immunisation Goal
It takes decades for new public health interventions
to reach those most in need
9. • Adult immunizations have:
• Lack of clear vaccination recommendations
among national and global bodies except USA
• Complex vaccination schedules
• Inadequate physician and patient knowledge
• Patients have limited awareness of the benefits
of vaccinations for themselves and their families
WHY NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT
ADULT IMMUNIZATION ?
10. ADULT IMMUNIZATION SHOULD BE A
MAJOR POLICY PRIORITY FOR
POLICYMAKERS AND OTHER
STAKEHOLDERS IN INDIA
This is also how childhood immunizations
were developed, and the model & motivation
behind success should be brought to
innovations in adult vaccines too
Now is the time to create similar levels of attention
on the critical value of adolescent & adult
vaccines as is done western countries
11. WHY ADULT VACCINATION ?
• Immunity wanes over time
• As we age, we become more susceptible to serious
diseases caused by common infections, such as
shingles, flu & pneumonia. This results in otherwise
preventable morbidity & mortality.
• Considerable vaccine – preventable morbidity
* Excess Hospitalization
* Diminished quality of life (Post – herpetic neuralgia)
* Missed work
* Medical Complications
