Not Enough Adults Getting Recommended Vaccines

In a report from Medline Plus, not enough adults are getting recommended vaccines, which could prevent diseases. Long-term disability benefits may be available if you’re out of work for an extended period of time due to a severe medical condition.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, indicates that the number of adults in the U.S. who get vaccines is low, despite the fact that every year about 45,000 individuals die from preventable diseases.

A report from 2010 indicates a small increase in vaccinations for acellular pertussis (Tdap), diphtheria and tetanus. These went from 1.6% to an 8.2% increase.

The human papillomavirus (HPV) saw a bigger increase, from 3.6% to 20.7%. But all other vaccinations (such as for pneumonia, Hepatitis A and B) continue to remain relatively the same.

Some of the reasons that researchers believe the vaccination rates remain so low is not having them on a schedule as they are with children, and a general lack of information. Additionally, when vaccinations should be received depends on several factors, which can complicate matters.
