The term “Lifestyle Vaccines” is being used to describe some of the new vaccines on the market such as Gardasil and Zostavax. There is a lot of buzz at the CDC, the ACIP (Advisory Committee in Immunization Practices) and pharmaceutical companies around this. Not only can this describe numerous vaccines on the market but it is well suited to capture the essence of emerging vaccines like those for obesity and smoking cessation.

Passport Health provides lifestyle vaccines such as Gardasil (human papilloma virus), Zostavax (shingles vaccine), and Adacel (includes whooping cough).

Passport Health handles all of the logistics, paperwork, vaccine administering, reminders, and boosters. This can take the onus off of already stretched health centers at schools and employers to free them up to do what they do best. Plus, this is a great mechanism to deal with “catch-up cohorts” that will exist around most new vaccines.
