Vaccinations in prisons: A shot in the arm for community health

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
From the first day of imprisonment, prisoners are exposed to and
                expose other prisoners to various communicable diseases, many of
                which are vaccine-preventable. The risk of acquiring these
                diseases during the prison sentence exceeds that of the general
                population. This excess risk may be explained by various causes;
                some due to the structural and logistical problems of prisons
                and others to habitual or acquired behaviors during
                imprisonment. Prison is, for many inmates, an opportunity to
                access health care, and is therefore an ideal opportunity to
                update adult vaccination schedules. The traditional idea that
                prisons are intended to ensure public safety should be
                complemented by the contribution they can make in improving
                community health, providing a more comprehensive vision of
                safety that includes public health.
