Abstract
Two recent studies have shown that vaccines designed to prevent herpes zoster (shingles) and pertussis are safe and effective. These vaccines expand the growing paradigm of active disease prevention in adults. The author discusses vaccination in this context and what clinicians can do to provide the best care to their patients.
