Abstract

The percent of US children who are not vaccinated has been increasing, and so have the rates of communicable diseases. As the unvaccinated and undervaccinated population ages, practitioners are likely to see more adult patients who have never been vaccinated. This article reviews the recommendations for vaccinating previously unvaccinated patients and addresses potential barriers and concerns adult patients may have about vaccines.
