Optimizing Immunization Practices: Episode 2 - COVID

The Optimizing Immunization Practices podcast series focuses on how you can optimize adult immunization in your practice. In this episode, the faculty will focus on COVID and discuss the burden of disease, current immunization rates, recommendations, and strategies to increase vaccine uptake. They will also share resources that you can use in your practice.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Articulate the risk factors, clinical features, epidemiology, and burden of disease associated with prevalent vaccine-preventable infectious diseases
  • Recognize patient-specific, provider-related, and systemic barriers to vaccine uptake, and develop strategies to overcome these obstacles in the primary care setting
  • Summarize current vaccine recommendations, including available clinical immunization resources
  • Select evidence-based strategies to increase immunization rates in their patient populations, considering factors such as vaccine hesitancy, patient education, and workflow integration within the primary care setting
