[Which immunizations for which adults in 2011?].
Immunizations are extremely efficient in prevention of diseases with a lethal potential. Healthy adults, pregnant women and patients suffering from chronic diseases may have a different benefit from vaccine available in our country. Numerous health problems need to be addressed during a short consultation, relegating immunization to a position of secondary importance. This paper will address the issue of immunization in special circumstances such as: healthy adults, pregnant women, HIV-infected patients, patients with end-stage renal disease, patients with chronic liver diseases and solid organ transplant candidates and recipients.
