Mysore/Mysuru: Apollo BGS Hospitals, Mysuru, launched the Adult Vaccination programme for adults above 18 years as a defence mechanism against infections recently. The vaccines offered are Influenza, Pneumococcal, Tdap (Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis).
“Vaccination is not only intended for children, they are also important for adults as immunity developed from childhood vaccines can diminish over time, and some adults are at increased risk for different diseases,” said Dr. Sanjeev Rao Girimaji, Consultant Physician, Apollo BGS Hospitals, Mysuru.
