Yet adult vaccinations are low in the U.S.\, which can result in costly hospitalizations and other medical interventions. This panel will explore some of the reasons for low adult vaccination rates\, which range from the failure of insurers to cover adult vaccines to lack of information from health providers. \n\n\nLaura Hanen\, interim executive director and chief of government affairs \, National Association of City and County Health Officials \n\n\nLitjen (L.J.)
