Trends in Global Adult Vaccination
Impact of COVID-19
Jul 18, 2023

By 2030, the number of people aged 60 years and older is expected to increase by more than a third, to 1.4 billion. Adult immunization is one of the most cost-effective public health preventative interventions available, accruing returns on investment at the individual, healthcare system, economic, societal, and political levels. However, despite the clear benefits, vaccination coverage is almost always much lower in adults than in pediatric vaccination programs. Maximizing the uptake of vaccines among the adult population is critical for reducing disease-associated outcomes and leads to improved health and reduced healthcare costs.

This research brief from the IQVIA Institute – Trends in Global Adult Vaccination: Impact of COVID-19 – aims to provide a baseline of adult vaccination trends and missed vaccination doses during the COVID-19 pandemic while assessing variations by countries and regions.
