Immunization in Adults Also Important

Chairman of the Task Force on Immunization Adults Medicine Specialist Association of Indonesia (Papdi) - Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI), Prof.. Dr.Samsuridjal Djauzi SpPD-KAI stated, immunizations for adults can not be ignored, and no less important to immunize children.
"In fact, immunization of adults to prevent the risk of death one hundred times higher than the immunization of children. Every year, tens of thousands of adults and hundreds of thousands of others had to be hospitalized because of the disease that could be prevented by immunization," said Samsuridjal in Jakarta, Sunday (01/13/2013).
   
Not only babies and toddlers, adults also need immunizations due to the increasing age of a person, the more vulnerable he also will be exposed to the disease. "Immunizations for adults, especially the elderly, can prevent death significantly," he said.
