Adult vaccination saves lives and is cost-effective. During influenza epidemics, more than 20,000 estimated deaths occur in the United States. Despite the benefits of adult vaccination and the availability of usage guidelines, vaccination rates remain low. In 1999, only 67% and 55% of elderly persons reported receiving influenza and pneumoccal vaccines. Vaccination indications are categorized as age, health, occupation, lifestyle, and environment.
