Abstract
Abstract Immunization has been a quintessential part of preventive health saving millions of lives from Vaccine preventable diseases. Adult immunization has also been accepted as an important intervention mandated by immunosenescence and newer co-morbidities faced by adults. However, there has been little headway in establishing adult immunization as an integral aspect of health care for older adults in India. There have been several challenges identified for this scenario. Apart from limited guidelines for vaccinating adults, poor awareness, limited access, vaccine hesitancy and expense play an important role. Though customized guidelines for the Indian population is warranted along with improving awareness about vaccines in the adult population, access to care through adult vaccines are mandatory to establish a functional system. Apart for reiterating vaccines that are most useful for the Indian adults, this commentary outlines the various facets of setting up an adult vaccine clinic in the Indian context.
