The upgraded Adult Immunization Clinic of Belle Vue Clinic was inaugurated for delivering services to adults and geriatric populations. It will help provide a shield against major diseases like Pneumonia, Hepatitis A and B, Meningitis, Rabies, Measles, Mumps, Diptheria, and others.

Prevention is better than cure. A good number of diseases can be prevented by the use of vaccines and preventive medicine.

Adult Immunization helps to serve two purposes- firstly, it helps in the prevention of certain diseases and secondly, it reduces the medical expenses of an individual.

Some of the diseases that can be combated by the use of vaccines are Influenza, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Pneumococcal, Meningococcal, Tetanus, Diptheria, Pertussis, and others.

Adult Immunization is not much known among the general population. With the launch of this Adult Immunization Clinic, the doctors want the people to know about the immunization available for the adult population and also about the multiple benefits that one can derive from it.

The Adult Immunization Clinic will be attended by senior physicians and will operate for three days a week.
