Cases of acute hepatitis B (HB) infection declined in young adults because of vaccination programs aimed at children, adolescents, and adults in high-risk groups.A vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, GardasilÒ HPV vaccine, is effective against four types of the virus (HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18); it is available and is recommended for individuals from 9 to 26 years old.Healthy People 2020 recommends three doses of HPV vaccine for females 13 to 15 years of age.Pertussis (whooping cough) is part of the original vaccine series offered to infants.Since it is now known that the antibody titer protection for pertussis diminishes with age, pertussis vaccination is recommended with the 10-year tetanus booster injection.This newly formulated vaccine recommended for adults is known as Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis).There is not a vaccine available for Lyme disease.Hepatitis B and HPV can both be prevented through immunization and young adults are at high risk for contracting these diseases.Pertussis is recommended and provided via administering the Tdap formulation of the vaccine.
