Since the last set of recommendations for adult vaccinations was published, there have been a number of modifications. One of the most notable is the ACIP's recommendation that all women and girls between the ages of 13 and 26 receive the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. Males who have intercourse with men until the age of 26 are also advised to get vaccinated, as are people whose immune systems may be weak. Other notable modifications include: Adults without proof of prior immunity to chickenpox are now advised to obtain the varicella vaccination, according to the ACIP. People who are at a high risk of infection or transmission, such as health care providers and teachers, should receive special consideration. People at a high risk of infection are those who are in close touch with others.

- The session focused on the importance of adult immunization, highlighting a gap in awareness and practice compared to childhood immunization. Many adults neglect vaccinations for themselves, their parents, and grandparents, despite a significant portion of the population aging into a high-risk category. Specific vaccines like flu, pneumonia, tetanus, herpes, HPV, and hepatitis A & B were emphasized for their preventative benefits.
- The presentation addressed vaccination schedules, with guidelines from the CDC, and travel vaccination was touched upon, focusing on diseases like yellow fever. Various high-risk groups, including those with chronic diseases, heavy alcohol users, and healthcare personnel, were identified as primary candidates for adult immunization. The speaker stressed the importance of checking antibody levels before administering certain vaccines, like chickenpox.
- Practical advice was given regarding the administration of vaccines, spacing between live vaccines, and managing patient concerns about side effects. The influenza vaccine was highlighted for its annual necessity, with clarification on its efficacy timeline. TDAP and pneumococcal vaccine schedules were discussed with detailed information regarding their use in specific circumstances, such as post-MI patients.
- HPV vaccination was promoted as a vital cancer prevention measure, particularly for adolescents. The talk emphasized the need to adopt adult immunization as a common practice to reduce the mortality and morbidity associated with vaccine-preventable diseases. The speaker urged medical professionals to become advocates for vaccinations, educating patients and promoting awareness within their communities.
