The widespread implementation of childhood vaccination programs has substantially reduced the occurrence of many vaccine-preventable diseases. However, adults may be at risk of these diseases and their complications, if they escaped natural infection or have not been vaccinated with toxoids or vaccines against diphtheria, measles, tetanus, pertussis, mumps, rubella, varicella (chicken pox) and poliomyelitis. In addition, other vaccine-preventable diseases (hepatitis B, hepatitis A, influenza, and pneumococcal disease) may pose a risk to persons in certain age, occupational, environmental, and life-style groups and those with special health problems. Women of childbearing age should be fully immunized to protect themselves and, in the case of pregnancy, their unborn child. Travelers to some countries may also be at increased risk of exposure to vaccine-preventable illnesses. Foreign students, immigrants, and refugees may be susceptible to these diseases.
