Adult immunization practices leave much to be desired. Misinformation has increased mistrust. As a result, Latino and African American populations have low rates of annual flu vaccinations and, during the COVID-19 pandemic, lag behind for COVID-19 vaccination. Historically, healthcare staff have failed to adhere to adult immunization guidelines contributing to patient infections. Healthcare staff, both clinical and non-clinical, must lead by example by making "prevention primary". Most adults may not realize they need immunizations. We recommend the following steps to increase immunization uptake: Make adult immunization a standard of patient care as we do for children. Assess immunization status at every clinical opportunity. Strongly recommend vaccinations needed. Administer needed vaccinations, multiple if warranted. Document vaccines received by your patient. Participate in your state's immunization registry and work with community organizations that can help make adult immunization the norm.
成人免疫接种情况仍有很大的改进空间。错误信息加剧了不信任。因此，拉丁裔和非裔美国人的年度流感疫苗接种率较低，在新冠疫情期间，新冠疫苗接种也滞后。从历史上看，医护人员未能遵守成人免疫接种指南，导致患者感染。临床和非临床医护人员都必须以身作则，将“预防放在首位”。大多数成年人可能没有意识到自己需要接种疫苗。我们建议采取以下措施来提高疫苗接种率：像对待儿童一样，将成人免疫接种作为患者护理的标准。在每次临床诊疗时评估免疫接种状况。强烈推荐所需的疫苗接种。接种所需疫苗，如有必要可接种多种。记录患者接种的疫苗。参与所在州的免疫接种登记系统，并与能够帮助使成人免疫接种成为常态的社区组织合作。
