And then I created the Kimberly Coffee Foundation in Kim's memory and subsequently the American Society for Meningitis Prevention.

Thank you, Alicia and Patty, for sharing your impactful stories with us today.

Your experiences are a strong reminder of the importance of vaccinations and the diseases that they can prevent.

When we think about vaccines, we need to remember that it's important to vaccinate across the lifespan.

We remain at risk throughout our life.

And adult immunizations remain a critical and yet an underutilized component of our preventive care in the United States.

And despite the availability of safe and effective vaccines, we continue to have millions of adults who are unprotected against vaccine-preventable diseases, which we refer to as VPDSs.

So Audrey, can you take us through kind of where we are now with some of these annual vaccinations and what we should be thinking of with our patients?
