Select immunizations for adult women

Vivien Brown. Menopause. .

Abstract

National standards for immunizations are set by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices in the United States and the National Advisory Committee on Immunizations in Canada. In Mexico, the National Immunization Technical Advisory Group sets standards for infants and adolescents but not for adults. In this Practice Pearl, guidelines for some adult immunizations in women and the recent and potential upcoming changes in vaccines are reviewed.
