🔹 Why do adults require vaccines?

Because childhood immunity fades over time, and adults face new exposures due to age, work, lifestyle, or travel.

🔹 How to know which vaccine is right for me?

Your doctor will decide based on your age, medical history, occupation, and travel plans.

🔹 How are records and reminders managed?

Every vaccination is digitally tracked with date, brand, and batch number. Automated reminders are sent for booster shots.
