Adult Vaccination in Akola
Vaccines aren’t just for children. Adults – especially those with chronic lung conditions, autoimmune disease, or who are over 60 – remain at real risk from infections like influenza and pneumonia. At Nishchay Hospital, adult vaccination in Akola is guided by Dr. Yash Sanjay Kedia, so recommendations are based on your actual health profile, not a generic checklist.

Adult Vaccination in Akola
Vaccines aren’t just for children. Adults – especially those with chronic lung conditions, autoimmune disease, or who are over 60 – remain at real risk from infections like influenza and pneumonia. At Nishchay Hospital, adult vaccination in Akola is guided by Dr. Yash Sanjay Kedia, so recommendations are based on your actual health profile, not a generic checklist.
Why Adult Vaccination Matters?
Vaccine protection from childhood doesn’t last forever, and immunity to some infections fades over time. On top of that, there are vaccines specifically recommended for adults – for conditions like influenza, pneumococcal disease and shingles – that simply weren’t part of the childhood schedule.
This matters even more for people with chronic lung conditions, autoimmune diseases, or those on medications that affect the immune system, since infections that are mild for most people can be far more serious for them. A short vaccination visit can meaningfully lower that risk.
Vaccines We Offer
Depending on your age, health conditions and prior vaccination history, recommendations may include:
Influenza (Flu) Vaccine
An annual vaccine, especially important for those with chronic lung disease, older adults, and anyone at higher risk of complications from flu
Pneumococcal Vaccine
Protects against pneumococcal pneumonia and related infections – strongly recommended for adults over 60 and those with chronic lung disease.
Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis)
A booster recommended roughly every ten years to maintain protection against these bacterial infections.
Shingles (Herpes Zoster) Vaccine
Recommended for older adults to reduce the risk of shingles and its complications.
Hepatitis A & B Vaccines
Recommended for adults who missed these in childhood or who have specific risk factors.
Other Recommended Vaccines
Including COVID-19 boosters and other vaccines based on your individual risk profile and travel or occupational needs.
Protecting health at every age
Who Should Consider Adult Vaccination?
Vaccination is especially important if you:
- Are 60 years of age or older
- Have a chronic lung condition such as asthma, COPD or ILD
- Have an autoimmune condition, especially on immunosuppressive or biologic therapy
- Have diabetes, heart disease, or kidney disease
- Are a smoker or ex-smoker
- Work in healthcare or have frequent close contact with vulnerable people
- Never completed your childhood vaccination schedule
- Are unsure which vaccines you’ve had or are due for
Not sure what you need?
A short consultation can review your history and health conditions to tell you exactly which vaccines are relevant for you.
Vaccination Needs by Condition
Certain patient groups at Nishchay Hospital need vaccination planned a little more carefully:
- Chronic Lung Disease: Patients with asthma, COPD or ILD are more vulnerable to complications from influenza and pneumonia, making annual flu vaccination and pneumococcal vaccination particularly important as part of ongoing lung care.
- Autoimmune Disease & Immunosuppressive Therapy: Patients on DMARDs or biologic therapy for rheumatoid arthritis, lupus or other autoimmune conditions need vaccination timed carefully around their treatment schedule — some vaccines are safe, while live vaccines may need to be avoided during certain treatments.
For patients under care with both pulmonology and rheumatology at Nishchay Hospital, vaccination planning is coordinated between the two departments to fit safely around your treatment.
Why Untreated Sleep Apnea Matters?
Sleep apnea isn’t only about feeling tired the next day — left untreated over time, it can affect your heart, metabolism and overall health. Common risks include:
High Blood Pressure & Heart Disease
Repeated drops in oxygen levels put extra strain on the heart and blood vessels, increasing the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular problems.
Worsening of Existing Lung or Heart Conditions
For patients who already have lung or heart conditions, untreated sleep apnea can make these conditions harder to manage.
Stroke Risk
Untreated sleep apnea is linked to a higher risk of stroke, partly due to its effects on blood pressure and blood vessel health.
Type 2 Diabetes
Poor sleep quality and repeated oxygen drops can affect how the body regulates blood sugar, increasing diabetes risk over time.
Daytime Drowsiness & Accident Risk
Persistent fatigue from fragmented sleep can affect concentration and reaction time, raising the risk of accidents at work or while driving.
Worsening of Existing Lung or Heart Conditions
For patients who already have lung or heart conditions, untreated sleep apnea can make these conditions harder to manage.
What to Expect at Your Vaccination Visit?
- Health & History Review: Your age, medical conditions, current medications, and past vaccination history are reviewed.
- Personalised Recommendation: Based on your profile, Dr. Kedia recommends which vaccines are relevant and appropriate for you right now.
- Vaccination: Vaccines are administered by trained staff in a safe, hygienic setting, with brief post-vaccination observation.
- Follow-Up Schedule: You’re told when any follow-up doses or annual boosters are due, so nothing gets missed.

Do adults really need vaccines?
Yes. Protection from childhood vaccines can fade over time, and several vaccines — like the flu shot, pneumococcal and shingles vaccines — are specifically recommended for adults and weren’t part of the childhood schedule.
Why is vaccination especially important for people with lung disease?
Infections like influenza and pneumonia can be far more serious for people with asthma, COPD or ILD, sometimes triggering flare-ups or severe complications, which is why vaccination is a routine part of chronic lung disease management.
Can I get vaccinated while on biologic or immunosuppressive therapy?
Many vaccines are safe during these treatments, but timing matters — particularly for live vaccines, which may need to be avoided or scheduled around your treatment cycle. Always discuss this with your rheumatologist or pulmonologist first.
How often do I need the flu vaccine?
The influenza vaccine is recommended annually, since flu viruses change each year and protection from the previous year’s vaccine may not cover the current strains.
Who should get the pneumococcal vaccine?
It’s generally recommended for adults over 60, people with chronic lung, heart or kidney disease, and those with weakened immunity — your doctor can confirm if and when you need it.
Is adult vaccination available in Akola?
Yes. Nishchay Hospital offers adult vaccination in Akola, with recommendations guided by Dr. Yash Sanjay Kedia based on your individual health profile.
