Vaccinations for adults can offer strong protection against illnesses such as influenza, pneumonia, and hepatitis, which can lead to severe health complications. By preventing these diseases, vaccines not only lower healthcare costs but also improve productivity and quality of life.

As reported by biospectrumindia.com, despite their benefits, adult vaccinations in India face obstacles including limited awareness and accessibility issues, which often impede vaccine uptake. Many adults remain unaware of the preventive options available to them.
