Infants and children are not the only ones who need vaccinations. With your adult life ahead of you, you’d think something you needed as a kid such as vaccinations would be long behind you.
However, it’s just the opposite. Vaccinations are going to be a perpetual part of your adulthood. Availing and scheduling vaccination services are responsibilities you will be committing to as an adult. Here are a few of them.
- Polio Vaccine
As a child, you must have been given polio shots. However, if you’re traveling to countries where polio is still common or if you work in laboratories where you handle specimens containing polio viruses, it is best if you receive another polio vaccination. - Hepatitis A Vaccine
If contracted, the hepatitis A virus can highly damage your liver’s ability to function. It’s frighteningly easy to contract this disease as you can get it from contaminated food, water, and other objects. As of today, there is no known effective treatment for Hepatitis A. Therefore, the best way to fight it is to prevent it. - Tdap Vaccine
The Tdap vaccine is a booster combination vaccine that fights tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough). Normally, adolescents are given this shot, but the effects of the vaccine can wane several years after receiving it. Adults must receive booster shots for the vaccine to effectively develop immunity against the three diseases.
