Adult Vaccination

Adult Vaccination for Respiratory Illness Prevention

Chronic lung disease and a weakened immune system make vaccinations essential for reducing the risk of respiratory infections. Individuals who have asthma and COPD or possess other lung diseases need influenza and pneumococcal vaccines because respiratory infections easily trigger life-threatening asthma attacks. Every year, people receive the influenza vaccine because it decreases their chances of experiencing severe flu consequences, hospital stays, and secondary bacterial infections. 

Individuals should get a pneumococcal vaccine, providing pneumonia defense for extended durations, since its number of administrations depends on their age and risk categories. Medical history and exposure risk help determine the need for additional vaccines, including pertussis (Tdap), shingles, COVID-19, and RSV vaccines. A respiratory physician performs a complete assessment before vaccines to confirm the non-existence of vaccination contraindications, including severe allergies or active infections. Adult vaccination protection reduces the severity of diseases and maintains stable lung function while cutting down the need for hospital visits due to respiratory illnesses from preventable vaccines.

Stay protected from respiratory infections with adult vaccinations for asthma, COPD, and lung disease at Manipal Hospital Malleshwaram.
