title: [Vaccination in adults].
abstract: While immunization programs for children are well accepted in Switzerland, vaccinations of adults are still a problem. This paper deals with indications for vaccinations in adults. While the whole adults population should be immunized (boostered) against diphtheria, poliomyelitis and tetanus, other vaccinations (CEE, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, rabies, varicella) should be administered according to risks at the workplace. Guidelines for vaccination programs in occupational medicine are presented and discussed.
