Vaccination

Vaccination is a key preventive service offered by pulmonologists to protect patients—especially those with chronic lung diseases like asthma, COPD, or interstitial lung disease—from serious respiratory infections.

Why Vaccination is Important in Lung Health:

Patients with weakened lung function are more vulnerable to infections such as:

  • Pneumonia
  • Influenza (Flu)
  • COVID-19
  • Tuberculosis (in some cases)
Pulmonologists ensure patients are up-to-date with essential vaccines to:
  • Prevent lung infections
  • Reduce hospitalization and complications
  • Improve long-term outcomes in chronic lung disease

By staying protected through timely vaccination, patients can breathe easier and stay healthier, especially during flu seasons or pandemics.
