Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Adult Immunization, 2nd Edition, by editors Tushar P Shah, Niranjan Shendurnikar, Abhay K Shah, and Naveen Thacker, is a practical, evidence-based reference on vaccinating adults across every stage of life. Retaining its question-and-answer format for rapid clinical reading, this edition moves beyond describing individual vaccines to approach adult immunization from the perspective of the individual patient — weighing age, underlying medical conditions, previous vaccination history, risk of exposure, occupation, travel, pregnancy, and immunocompromising conditions. It is written to be relevant to physicians across specialties, recognizing that adult vaccination is not the responsibility of one specialty alone. Structured across 33 chapters in four sections, the book covers the general principles of vaccines and immunization, individual vaccines used in adults, vaccination in special groups and situations, and newer vaccine delivery systems and technologies. Each chapter closes with a bulleted Key Messages summary and a Further Reading list for quick recall and evidence tracing. Who This Book Is For: Physicians, General Practitioners and Family Physicians: the frontline clinicians best placed to identify vaccination opportunities during routine adult consultations and recommend vaccines confidently. Pediatricians, Geriatricians and Specialists across Disciplines: surgeons, gynecologists, oncologists and intensivists who encounter adult patients who stand to benefit from timely immunization. Why This Book Helps: Translates evolving vaccinology into practice: distills current recommendations for 15 individual vaccines into a clinically usable, question-based format. Builds a patient-centered vaccination approach: helps clinicians factor in age, comorbidities, occupation, travel and pregnancy status when deciding what to recommend. Addresses vaccine hesitancy directly: dedicated chapters on communication and counseling adults for immunization and on vaccine hesitancy itself. Covers special situations comprehensively: maternal vaccination, vaccination in immunocompromising conditions, healthcare workers, corporate settings and travelers. Supports safe administration: dedicated chapters on vaccine storage and cold chain maintenance and on adverse events following immunization and vaccine safety. Key Features: 33 chapters across 4 sections: General Aspects of Vaccines and Immunization, Vaccines for Use in Adults, Vaccines in Special Groups and Situations, and Newer Vaccines and Technologies. 15 dedicated vaccine chapters covering diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus, influenza, herpes zoster, pneumococcal, HPV, hepatitis A and B, typhoid, varicella, meningococcal, rabies, dengue, COVID-19, MMR/Hib/RSV, and Japanese encephalitis and cholera. A dedicated Special Groups and Situations section on adolescents, maternal vaccination, immunocompromising and other special situations, healthcare professionals, corporate vaccination, and travelers. Practical question-and-answer format throughout, with end-of-chapter Key Messages boxes and Further Reading lists in every chapter.
