Not at all. Adults are in need of vaccines to protect them from a variety of communicable diseases, including pneumonia, HPV and hepatitis. Which are best to receive varies with age and a number of other risk factors, such as where you travel, previous exposure and the current status of your immune system. Review this information from the Mayo Clinic to determine what you need now and what to get later.
