While childhood vaccination rates are well over 90%, adults are far more likely to be behind on vaccinations http://www.hhs.gov/nvpo/national_adult_immunization_plan_final.pdf
Think you're up to date on your vaccinations? You might be surprised at how many vaccinations are now recommended for American adults -- and the federal government plans to start tracking which of those vaccines you're behind on.
The Department of Health and Human Services released its preliminary draft of a new five year plan to increase adult vaccinations this month. The newly revised 52-page National Adult Immunization Plan says:
While the NVP provides a vision for improving protection from vaccine-preventable diseases across the lifespan, vaccination coverage levels among adults are not on track to meet Healthy People 2020 targets.
It describes the plan for the next five years as:
Goal 1: Strengthen the adult immunization infrastructure. Goal 2: Improve access to adult vaccines. Goal 3: Increase community demand for adult immunizations. Goal 4: Foster innovation in adult vaccine development and vaccination-related technologies.

“”This will be entertaining for my very healthy 92 year old Father, I doubt he would ever submit to required vaccinations, WWII vet that will never submit””
How fortunate for you to have him and how fortunate for him to be healthy and still able to fight for what is right. I wonder what inoculations were available during WWII - I’m sure smallpox would have been given to him and perhaps tetanus? I know the guys during the Korean War (??) were given a slew of them probably not available in the forties.
This old gal won’t be saying “yes” either. This could get interesting but we really don’t need it on our plate with everything else we have to fight now with this administration..
Keep your father safe and well and the same to you.
Ping
How are they going to track me if I don’t go to the doctor?
That scar, gives away my age. Can’t claim that I’m 20 years younger. lol
Same here. lol
We have a Grandfather who is 101, will be 102 in June. He is healthy as can be and never received a vaccine. Imagine that!
Thanks for the ping!
Yep, my grandfathers both died of cancer, too bad they can’t give you a special skin or organ drug that allows your organs/skin to never grow tumors. Although in both of their cases, they just let the cancer run it’s course, because given their ages (89,92) the chemotherapy would just kill them anyways. Congratulations on yours though.
Thank you for your kind words. Now I’m curious, I will ask my Dad what he’s gotten over the years, should be enlightening! Stay safe and strong, we need you.

Well, our friend in TX would say you don’t know what you’re talking about and he would copy and paste something to prove that you’re wrong. Great to be able to have this discussion without him claiming we’re all nuts not to believe THE SCIENCE!!!
I had a great aunt who lived to 107 and her brother to 105.. Never knew either of them to have any health problems unless you count “shrinking”.
I would imagine if this program they’re dreaming up ever gets off the ground anyone entering a rest home/assisted living would be in for all the shots.
And this from our dear old friend Bill Gates:

At about 2:38 he speaks about vaccines/healthcare DEPOPULATING the globe!!! HE loves vaccines and donates beaucoup $$$ to achieve inoculations in foreign countries. Is this why?
If they can be used to depopulate the world, wouldn’t it make sense that they KILL people? Am I hearing this wrong?
“”too bad they cant give you a special skin “”
The good Lord gave us our skin - and it is meant to KEEP OUT WHAT IS OUT!!!!!
I would beg all of you please DO NOT get the shingles vaccine. My better half did, and has had traveling nerve pain every since. Much like the “diagnosis” of fibromyalgia, he may be stuck with the “diagnosis” of neuropothy. None of the doctors want to agree with the correlation between the shot and the nerve pain, even though it is symptomatic of shingles without the rash. And none of them seems to eager or interested in finding a cause. Just DON”T DO IT!!
You bet ! Its their attempt to ‘dirty you up’
