An overarching goal of medicine is to maintain event-free survival, of which prevention is a cornerstone. Preventive therapies are not new to clinicians. Everyday clinical practice is full of examples: blood pressure control, dietary/exercise advice, smoking cessation, etc. However, infectious disease prevention, particularly for vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) is often an afterthought. Although it has become routine in many parts of the world to immunize children against many VPDs, for which strong recommendations exist and even full or partial reimbursement is available, routine immunization often ends in early adolescence. Although a VPD “event” itself may not always lead to serious complications, in the presence of chronic underlying comorbidities, an otherwise self-limiting infection can result in morbidity or mortality. Building on successful childhood immunization strategies is a first step to life-course immunization and healthy aging. The goal of this curriculum is to ensure that clinicians consider incorporating immunization into routine treatment plans for their patients, irrespective of their age.
