Abstract:
In general, vaccinations can be divided into standard and indication-related vaccinations. The former, which are mandatory for adults too, include tetanus and diphtheria, and those against influenza and pneumococci in people older than 60. The term indication vaccinations is used to describe those that are recommended in certain situations, for example, in the presence of a particular occupational risk, in certain underlying diseases, or particular situations, e.g. women of childbearing age, people living in regions endemic for meningoencephalitis, and drug addicts. Since the vaccination rate in the case of adults leaves much to be desired, all physicians should be required to ensure that "gaps" are closed and immunization protection is maintained.
