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 Raleigh,NC on September 24, 2017. Krunal Bhadiyadara explained the need to be vaccinated and the recommended immunization schedule for children and adults.
