Although adult immunization is different from children's, vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs) for adults are significant in that they are more severe and cause more deaths than VPDs for children. Additionally, the emergence of new vaccines and an increase in the elderly population are increasing demands for policy support for adult vaccination. Accordingly, in this paper, I will look at the characteristics of adult immunization, policies that have been implemented in Korea, and considerations.
虽然成人免疫接种与儿童不同，但成人的疫苗可预防疾病（VPDs）意义重大，因为与儿童的VPDs相比，它们更为严重且导致更多死亡。此外，新疫苗的出现和老年人口的增加，对成人疫苗接种政策支持的需求也在增加。因此，在本文中，我将探讨成人免疫接种的特点、韩国已实施的政策以及相关考虑因素。
