Child, Adolescents, and Adult Immunization Schedules

5/5 ( ratings)

There have been significant changes to the immunization schedules for children, adolescents, and adults, and the approval of multiple new vaccines has increased the opportunities for preventive care for both children and adults. However, coverage with some vaccines remains far below national goals, and outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases continue to occur. The purpose of this course is to provide healthcare professionals with the information necessary to identify patients who should be vaccinated and methods to increase vaccination coverage in outpatient practice. In addition, members of the public may use this course to enhance their personal knowledge of the subject matter presented.

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

1. Discuss the regulation of vaccines and identify the child, adolescent, and adult immunization schedules.
2. Explain the rationale behind the addition of new vaccines and changes to existing recommendations, and differences between current vaccines and newer options in development.
3. State contraindications to the administration of specific vaccines.
4. Explain recent safety data regarding vaccines.
5. Identify barriers to timely vaccination.
6. Describe methods for maximizing vaccination coverage.
