Abstract:
Vaccinations are among the most cost-effective preventive health strategies to reduce healthcare costs and prevent morbidities. Every year, many adults and elderly encounter hospitalization because of infectious respiratory diseases. Among these, viral and bacterial pneumonia, tuberculosis, diphtheria and pertussis infections are some of the diseases that can be prevented and managed with fewer complications, with adequate preventive immunization.

Respiratory Capacities
One key metric is the Inspiratory Capacity (IC), which represents the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled with full effort. IC is calculated by summing the tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume, typically ranging from 2.4 to 3.6 liters.
The Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) represents the air in the...
