Preventive vaccination is the most economical and effective measure against infectious diseases. Most children take vaccines, but adult vaccines are often neglected, or the purpose and timing of vaccination for adults are often obscured. Generally speaking, the purposes of adult vaccines are as follows:

• Those who when being a child were not vaccinated or vaccinated but the antibody disappeared or the antibody was not generated.
• Routine vaccination for non-infants is necessary for adults or high-risk groups.
• Special considerations for traveling.

While taking care of your baby, don't forget your own health and rights!
