Adult immunizations: how are we doing?

Hospital Practice
T C Eickhoff

Abstract

Physicians seldom ask adult patients about basic immunizations or seek to determine whether the patient's occupation, lifestyle, or travel may warrant additional vaccine coverage. Yet more than 30,000 lives could be saved every year in the United States if adult immunization recommendations were implemented. Strategies for improving delivery are reviewed and information on specific vaccines is updated.
