2 Vaccines save lives.

4 507,300 diphtheria deaths 20,300 pertussis deaths 57,300 measles deaths 59,700 hepatitis B deaths 55,000 pneumococcal deaths 13,700 Haemophilus influenzae type b deaths 14,800 polio deaths

5 Nationally, vaccination of young children continues to be the norm.

6 Percent Vaccinated Vaccine-specific Coverage* among Children Months, National Immunization Survey, United States, PCV 3 2+ HepA Rotavir MMR (1+) DTP/Dtap (3+ ) Polio (3+) Hib (3+) HepB (3+) Varicella (1+) PCV (4+) Rotavirus* HepA (2+)* Year * The Healthy People 2020 target for coverage is 90% for all vaccines with the exception of rotavirus (80%) and HepA (85%). DTP (3+) is not a Healthy People 2020 objective. DTaP (4+) is used to assess Healthy People 2020 objectives. Reflects 3+ doses through 2008, and Full Series (3 or 4 doses depending on type of vaccine received) 2009 and later.

8 But there s still room for improvement.

9 Results - Vaccination Coverage by Poverty Status, NIS 2014 Vaccine and Doses Below Poverty Level Percentage Point Difference 3+ DTaP DTaP Polio MMR 3.3 Hib-Primary Series 4.1 Hib-Full Series HepB HepB-birth dose 1+ Varicella 3+ PCV PCV HepA 5.2 Rotavirus :3:1:3*:3:1:4 series 9.7 Comparison group is at or above poverty level included in series

10 Not all outbreaks of vaccine-preventable disease are caused by lack of vaccination.

12 We cannot prevent outbreaks of pertussis with our current pertussis vaccine.

13 Number of cases Reported NNDSS pertussis cases: * 300, , , ,000 DTP 60,000 50,000 40,000 30,000 20,000 10, * 100,000 50,000 DTaP Tdap 0 *2015 data are provisional Year SOURCE: CDC, National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System and Supplemental Pertussis Surveillance System and , passive reports to the Public Health Service

14 Shifting the Timing of Mother s Tdap Dose: Postpartum to Pregnancy Provides earlier protection to mother Transfers high levels of transplacental maternal antibodies to infants Likely provides direct immunity to infant Pregnancy Postpartum

15 We now know how to improve HPV vaccine coverage.

16 Percent Vaccinated Estimated HPV Vaccination Coverage among Adolescents Aged Years, NIS-Teen, United States, Survey Year Source: Reagan-Steiner, et al. MMWR; August 26, 2016 / 65(33); Tdap MCV4 1 HPV girls 3 HPV girls 1 HPV boys

17 SYSTEMS STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE HPV VACCINE COVERAGE Establish standing orders for HPV vaccination beginning at age years in your practice Conduct reminder/recall beginning at years of age Assess HPV vaccine coverage at every visit and prompt clinical staff to give HPV vaccine at that visit Schedule return visit for next dose before the patient leaves the office Document each dose in the child s medical record and the state s immunization information system

18 TACTICS FOR SUCCESSFUL HPV VACCINE DELIVERY, DENVER HEALTH Routine use of a robust immunization registry for multiple functions, including recording vaccine history and recommended needed vaccines at every visit Medical assistants check vaccine registry for recommended vaccines at every visit Standing order for routine immunizations Vaccines are given early in the visit when possible Education for providers to present Tdap, MCV, and HPV as a standard bundle of adolescent immunizations Provider-level report cards with adolescent vaccination coverage rates Vaccination drives at school-based health centers Farmer et al, Pediatrics 2016

19 Immunization Rates for Adolescents Denver Health, Farmer et al, Pediatrics 2016

20 We need a modern information systems for immunization.

23 It s too big a job (and too important) for any of us alone; all of us need to work on it, together.
