Immunizations for grownups
Adult vaccines are immunizations given to people past childhood, either as boosters for earlier vaccinations or as new protections against diseases that primarily affect adults.
Some target age-related risks like shingles or pneumonia; others address travel, occupation, or health conditions: Many adults need a tetanus booster every ten years.
The term often appears in public health campaigns encouraging vaccination beyond childhood schedules.
