Immunization is the process of making individuals immune. Childhood immunization is a common process for various aliments, but adult immunization in the Indian scenario is obscure. Officially, India has been declared polio-free, which is an achievement despite cultural, political, economic, geographic, and so many other factors. The changing demographics of adult, geriatric population and growing cost of health-care maintenance are a concern in developing countries like India. Thus, promoting healthy lifestyle needs prevention, early detection, and management of various diseases and disorders. Certainly, prevention in adults is yet to be tapped completely, so that goal of 100% prevention can be achieved. Various fraternities of medical association have come up with guidelines for adult immunization schedules in India. The present paper reviews infectious diseases such as anthrax, chikungunya, cholera, dengue, influenza, and malaria in this section of the review. We humbly request all health-care professionals and educators to educate the mass for adult immunization. So that, cost involved for treatment and workforce for the management of diseases can be better utilized in some other needed areas.
免疫接种是使个体产生免疫力的过程。儿童免疫接种是针对多种疾病的常见程序，但在印度，成人免疫接种情况却不明朗。官方宣布印度已无脊髓灰质炎，尽管存在文化、政治、经济、地理等诸多因素，这仍是一项成就。在印度这样的发展中国家，成人和老年人口结构的变化以及医疗保健维持成本的不断上升令人担忧。因此，促进健康的生活方式需要对各种疾病和病症进行预防、早期检测和管理。当然，成人预防措施尚未得到充分利用，因此无法实现100%预防的目标。印度医学协会的各个团体已经制定了成人免疫接种时间表指南。在本综述的这一部分，本文回顾了炭疽、基孔肯雅热、霍乱、登革热、流感和疟疾等传染病。我们诚恳地请求所有医疗保健专业人员和教育工作者向公众宣传成人免疫接种知识。这样，用于治疗的费用和疾病管理的劳动力就能更好地用于其他一些需要的领域。
