Although vaccinations are most commonly associated with the pediatric population, it is important for healthcare professionals to be familiar with the vaccines that are recommended for adults. The authors discuss 3 vaccines-the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, the varicella vaccine, and the herpes zoster vaccine-including information about the diseases and complications that they protect against. Two doses, separated by 4 weeks, of both the MMR and varicella vaccines are recommended for all adults who do not have immunization or contraindications. All adults aged 60 years or older should receive a single dose of the herpes zoster vaccine unless they have contraindications. These 3 vaccines offer protection from illnesses that can have serious sequelae and substantial public health implications.
虽然疫苗接种最常与儿科人群相关，但医疗保健专业人员熟悉推荐给成年人的疫苗很重要。作者讨论了三种疫苗——麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹（MMR）疫苗、水痘疫苗和带状疱疹疫苗——包括它们所预防的疾病和并发症的信息。对于所有没有免疫接种或禁忌证的成年人，建议接种两剂MMR疫苗和水痘疫苗，两剂间隔4周。所有60岁及以上的成年人应接种一剂带状疱疹疫苗，除非他们有禁忌证。这三种疫苗可预防可能产生严重后遗症并对公共卫生有重大影响的疾病。
