Abstract

As the world's population grows older, vaccination is becoming a key strategy for promoting healthy aging. Despite scientific progress in adult vaccine development, obstacles such as immunosenescence and vaccine hesitancy remain. To unlock the potential of adult vaccines fully, we must enhance immunization programs, dispel misinformation, and invest in research that deepens our understanding of aging and immunity.
