The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends vaccinations from birth through adulthood to provide a lifetime of protection against many diseases and infections, such as influenza, pneumococcal disease, human papillomavirus, and hepatitis A and B. Yet many individuals are not vaccinated as recommended, leaving them needlessly vulnerable to illness and long -term suffering.
To bring awareness on this topic, BAPS Charities organized a Health Awareness Lecture in Augusta, GA on November 12, 2017. Dr. Chetan Patel explained the need to be vaccinated and the recommended immunization schedule for children and adults.
