As parents, we're diligent about getting our children vaccinated on time, knowing how important it is for their well-being. But when it comes to ourselves, we often overlook or delay our own vaccinations. The reason could simply be the lack of awareness or not realizing their power.
Yes, vaccinations are for adults too! In fact, you'd be surprised to know that global immunization efforts have saved at least 154 million lives over the past 50 years.
But why exactly should adults get vaccinated? Vaccination strengthens your immunity, complementing childhood vaccines to offer comprehensive protection. For those with chronic conditions, it can help reduce complications. Vaccines also play a crucial role in preventing infections during travel and lowering the risk of occupation-specific illnesses, such as typhoid in hospitality or hepatitis and tetanus in factory settings. Additionally, certain vaccines help combat antibiotic resistance by preventing infections from the start.
At Tata 1mg, we've introduced the Adult Vaccination Programme to highlight the crucial role of adult vaccinations. With the added convenience of 'Vaccination at Home,' we're making it easier than ever to protect your health, and ensuring everyone has access to these four essential shots.
👉 Influenza (Flu) Vaccine/ Annual Flu Shots: Covers the latest strains against contagious viral infection, Influenza (flu). Everyone above 6 months of age, including adults and children should get them.
👉 HPV (Human Papillomavirus) Vaccine: Shields against most cases of HPV associated cancers, including cervical cancer. Teens and young adults aged 9-14, ideally before sexual activity, should get it. However, both females and males aged 15-45 can still benefit, as the vaccine protects against future HPV infections, even if they are already sexually active.
👉 Pneumococcal Vaccine: Protects against serious conditions like pneumonia, meningitis & sepsis. Adults 65 and older and those aged 19-64 with specific risk conditions are advised to get it.
👉 Shingles Vaccine: Safeguards from a viral infection that triggers painful skin rashes. Adults after the age of 50, especially those with weakened immune systems due to disease or therapy should get it.
Consult a doctor today and take care of those you love by taking care of yourself.
