Leveraging home healthcare to enhance adult immunization coverage

Home healthcare services provide essential medical care through mobile health teams to individuals who are bedridden or unable to access healthcare facilities due to chronic conditions.Despite their importance, adult immunization has not been systematically prioritized within this care framework.Adult immunization rates in Trkiye are known to be low, and globally, adult vaccination coverage remains suboptimal compared to recommended targets. [1,2]Patients receiving home healthcare represent a particularly high-risk group, as they often encounter significant barriers to accessing vaccines. [3]Home visits thus constitute a critical and underutilized opportunity to evaluate vaccination status and address gaps in coverage.
