Vaccination, or active immunization is the most effective means by which it is possible to significantly reduce the incidence of certain

infectious diseases. Consistent implementation of immunization programs in the Czech Republic and many other countries around

the world has shown that infections are successfully controlled by systematic vaccination. Besides decree defined regular, special

and emergency vaccination, extra vaccinations of adults and people with chronic diseases and/or immunodeficiency is becoming

increasingly important. For adults there are also available vaccines to mandatory or (strongly) recommended immunization before

traveling abroad.

Age, comorbid chronic diseases, lifestyle, working conditions and pregnancy play the important role in deciding. Plenty of information

provided by the general practitioners are essential to improve the unsatisfactory immunization of adults against certain infectious diseases.

Keywords: adult vaccination, recommended vaccinations, booster intervals, chronic disease
