Vaccination in adulthood
Many adults are sure that vaccinations are given only in childhood, and the immunity acquired as a result of vaccination lasts for life. However, this is not entirely true. Protection against some diseases does last for life, but some infectious diseases can be contracted in adulthood, even if vaccinated in childhood, if post-vaccination immunity is not maintained. Moreover, adults suffer from “childhood” diseases much more severely, and complications occur more often.
During medical examinations, doctors usually remind adults about the need for revaccination, but not everyone attaches due importance to this and gets vaccinated. In this article, we will tell you why vaccination is sometimes necessary in adulthood.
