For years our efforts have been focused on vaccination during childhood. Today we know that this is not enough to ensure health in the rest of the life. Childhood is as important as any other stage and, therefore, vaccination must be permanent and differentiated, according to our age, throughout life. Introducing a life course perspective in vaccination programs, with emphasis on adult vaccination, particularly in older adults, offers us the opportunity to review the performance of health programs, actions, and services in the field of immunization, as well as strengthening health promotion actions. In this context, the first Mexican Consensus on Adult Vaccination was carried out in a joint effort of the National Institute of Geriatrics, bringing together a group of specialists who worked on three central objectives: establishing vaccination guidelines throughout the life course, with emphasis on new vaccines; defining priority groups according to their risk factors; and contributing to the effort to promote healthy aging.
多年来，我们一直专注于儿童期疫苗接种。如今我们知道，这不足以确保一生的健康。儿童期与其他任何阶段一样重要，因此，疫苗接种必须贯穿一生，并根据我们的年龄有所区别。在疫苗接种计划中引入生命历程视角，重点关注成人疫苗接种，尤其是老年人的疫苗接种，为我们提供了一个机会，来审视免疫领域卫生计划、行动和服务的绩效，以及加强健康促进行动。在此背景下，墨西哥首次成人疫苗接种共识是由国家老年医学研究所共同努力达成的，汇聚了一批专家，他们致力于三个核心目标：制定贯穿生命历程的疫苗接种指南，重点关注新疫苗；根据风险因素确定优先群体；并为促进健康老龄化的努力做出贡献。
