| Adult Vaccination Clinic |
| |
Vaccination requirements vary with age, health, lifestyle and occupational factors. Infant immunization covers most vaccines but some of them like, tetanus vaccine, need booster doses to effectively keep the body immunity working. In addition there are certain vaccines that are meant only for adults and cannot be administered to infants or children. |
| |
The rapid advancement in medical science and the breakthroughs in treatment and preventive medicine have led to the development of several vaccines recently. Adults are recommended to take these shots that have only recently been made available. |
| |
Preventive timely action could be the difference between a full life and a debilitating disease that curtails lifestyles and cuts short life. Your immune system requires a periodic boost that only a vaccine can give. Medseva Adult vaccination Clinic will show you the way. |

| Who & When |
| |
| College & Young Adults (age 19-24) |
 |
Most vaccines are given early in childhood, but college students and young adults need certain immunizations, too. These vaccines are specifically recommended for young adults ages 19-24: |
| » |
Meningococcal conjugate vaccine protects against bacterial meningitis and may be required for some college freshmen or other students living in dorm. |
| » |
Tdap vaccine protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis, or whooping cough. |
| » |
HPV vaccine protects against the human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes most cases of cervical and anal cancers, as well as genital warts. |

| Adults (age 19 and older) |
 |
| |
You never outgrow the need for vaccines. The specific immunizations you need as an adult are determined by factors such as your age, lifestyle, high-risk conditions, type and locations of travel, and previous immunizations. Throughout your adult life, you need immunizations to get and maintain protection against: flu, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, shingles, pneumococcal, HPV, etc. |
| |
Encourage other adults in your family to check with their doctors for immunizations they may need to help protect against vaccine-preventable diseases. Childhood vaccinations will not protect you for the rest of your life. |
