India needs to sign up for life-course immunisation

The Hindu  

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, most people linked and associated vaccination with children only. There is very limited data on the burden of vaccine preventable diseases in adult age groups — in most settings including India. Fortunately, these vaccines have become part of childhood vaccination programmes; however, the coverage and benefits need to be expanded to the identified high-risk adult population. Fourth, the process for developing and drafting a road map, possibly India’s national adult vaccination policy and strategy should be initiated. It is an opportunity for health policy makers in India to institutionalise mechanisms to examine the need, take policy decisions on adult vaccination and empower adult citizens to make informed choices on whether they wish to get currently available vaccines.
