Ensuring both health and safety from VPDs in the workplace is of paramount importance. Vaccination for the adult working population plays a significant role in reducing absenteeism in the workplace. A healthy workplace ensures greater productivity in terms of work output, thereby conferring profits and savings higher than medical expenditure. Therefore, international guidelines like the ACIP have come out with specific vaccination recommendations for the working adults. However, in India, there are no guidelines or practices for vaccination in the workplace.
In order to address this important issue, the IAOH developed evidence-based recommendations in 2020 for adult immunisation at workplace. This step is in line with the mission of IAOH to help keep India’s workplaces healthy.1,2
