  Jaipur, July, 2024: Fortis Escorts Hospital Jaipur today launched a dedicated Adult Vaccination Centre, with the aim of providing a range of adult vaccinations to enhance public health and wellness. The state-of-the-art facility aims to increase awareness and accessibility of important vaccinations for people who are 18 and above. The centre was inaugurated by a distinguished team comprising - Dr. RK Tongia, Director & HOD Cardiology, Dr. Pankaj Anand, Director, Internal Medicine, Dr. Sunit Mathur, Consultant, Geriatric Medicine, Dr. Mala Airun Director, Medical Operations and Mr. Neerav Bansal, Zonal Director,  Fortis Escorts Hospitals. 

 Dr. Pankaj Anand, Director, Internal Medicine, Fortis Escorts Hospital, Jaipur shared, “As we grow older, our body’s immunity reduces considerably, which is called immunosenescence, hence adult vaccinations are as important as pediatric. They significantly reduce the risk of complications, hospitalisation and fatalities. The centre will have the capacity to administer vaccines to protect against many serious ailments. Some of the important adult vaccines which will be available here are – Pneumococcal, Cervical Cancer HPV, Hepatitis A & B, Meningococcal, Typhoid, Influenza and many others. Apart from general public, the centre will also provide vaccines for the medical fraternity, international travellers coming to India, pilgrims and those visiting countries abroad, to keep them safe from any infectious disease.” 

 Dr. RK Tongia, Director & HOD Cardiology at Fortis Escorts Hospital Jaipur, said, " Vaccination is a crucial preventive measure for individuals of all ages. As we age, our immune system weakens, making us more susceptible to infections and other chronic ailments. Adult vaccinations play a vital role in reducing the incidence of diseases, preventing hospitalizations, and saving lives. Our goal is to enhance community health by making vaccines accessible and promoting their benefits through continuous education and awareness campaigns.” 

 Mr. Neerav Bansal, Zonal Director, Fortis Escorts Hospital Jaipur adds, “We are extremely proud and happy to have launched our Adult Vaccination Centre. In our continued commitment to promoting health and wellness, this centre will provide accessible and comprehensive vaccination services to protect one and all from a variety of diseases. Our dedicated team of professionals is ready to deliver the highest standard of care, ensuring that every individual receives the required immunisation in a safe and supportive environment. At Fortis, your health is our priority, and this new facility is a significant step towards safeguarding our community’s wellbeing.”
