Скачать или смотреть Adult vaccination in India: Why flu, pneumonia & RSV vaccines matter after 50 | Dr Ankit Bansal

Adult vaccination is one of the most ignored yet most powerful tools in preventive healthcare in India. While childhood immunisation follows a strict national schedule, adult vaccination often takes a backseat — despite adults, especially those above 50 years, being at a much higher risk of severe infections.

In this insightful podcast, Dr. Ankit Bansal, Senior Pulmonologist and Critical Care Intensivist at Fortis Hospital, Jaipur, breaks down the importance of adult vaccination in a simple, practical, and relatable way. Drawing from real ICU experiences, Dr. Bansal explains why diseases like influenza, pneumonia, RSV, and COVID-like viral infections can become life-threatening in adults with conditions such as COPD, asthma, diabetes, heart disease, or weakened immunity.

The discussion covers:
Why adult vaccination is as important as childhood vaccination
The most recommended vaccines for adults in India
(Influenza, Pneumococcal, RSV)
Who should definitely get vaccinated — especially people above 50
Common myths and fears around vaccine side effects
The role of doctors, families, and awareness in improving vaccine uptake
Why many severe pneumonia cases in ICUs could have been prevented
Lessons India learned during the COVID vaccination drive
Urban vs rural gaps in adult vaccine awareness and accessibility

Dr. Bansal also highlights how vaccines do not always prevent infection completely, but significantly reduce severity, hospitalisation, ICU admissions, and mortality — something every family should understand.

This episode is a must-watch for:
Adults above 40–50 years
Caregivers and family members of elderly patients
People with asthma, COPD, diabetes, heart or lung disease
Anyone who wants to understand preventive healthcare better

📌 Prevention is always better than ICU care.
This conversation aims to empower you with the right knowledge so you can make informed decisions for yourself and your loved ones.

👉 Watch till the end for a strong message on why adult vaccination should become a national priority — just like childhood immunisation.
