A survey revealed more than 95% of vaccine preventable diseases (VPD) associated adult deaths have been reported in India. Pneumonia accounts for 39% (146/374) and meningitis for 24.3% (91/374) of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), causing 38,811 confirmed cases and 2,266 deaths in 2017. Insurance Information Bureau of India also stated that âcertain infectious and parasitic diseasesâ was the top insurance claim category in 2016-17. In light of this, itâs clear: Controlling VPDs in adults through timely vaccination is crucial. Whatâs your take on adult vaccination in India? Should India be doing more to integrate it into routine healthcare and national health programs?
