title: Current immunization practices in adults.
abstract: Can the successes of pediatric immunization programs be matched in adults? The question relates both to infections due to waning immunity and to those primarily acquired in adulthood. It is given urgency by rising prevalence of vaccine-preventable diseases in adults. Strategies with available vaccines are reviewed, and vaccines in development are discussed.
