ImmunizationsNOT JUST FOR KIDS

By Concentra Urgent Care

Although most toddlers in the United States have received all recommended vaccines, many adults and adolescents have not. These missed vaccinations increase their risk for infection, hospitalization, death, and disease spread, and they contribute to the estimated $10 billion that is spent annually on vaccine preventable diseases in the United States.

Evidence shows that currently approved vaccines are safe and effective. However, coverage rates for persons of all ages vary nationwide. Reasons cited include lack of health insurance, unfamiliarity with vaccine recommendations, limited access at physicians’ offices, or the perceived cost of vaccines.

What you need to know is that obtaining recommended vaccines in a timely manner can prevent disease. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends the following immunization schedule for generally healthy adults and adolescents:

Vaccine Recommended ScheduleInfluenza Yearly, especially if at risk

Meningococcal One dose, age 11-12 or 13-18 if not previously immunized

Tetanus-Diphtheria/Tetanus

One dose, age 11-12, then booster

Diphtheria-Pertussis every 10 yearsHuman Papilloma Virus

(females only) Three doses, age 11-26

Measles - Mumps - Rubella

If born after 1956, one or two doses if never immunized up to

age 65Pneumococcal One dose, at or after age 65

Varicella (chicken pox) Two doses if no prior infection or immunization received

Zoster (shingles) One dose, at or after age 60

* Specific recommendations for individuals may vary depending on age, prior immunization history and the presence of other existing conditions; please see the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Web site at: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/schedules/default.htm

For more information about immunizations and where to get them, contact your health care provider, your Concentra health specialist, or visit the CDC’s Web Site at:www.cdc.gov/vaccines.
