ENA Tpic Brief Key Infrmatin Immunizatins are vital fr d isease preventin and health prmtin. The CDC prvides recmmendatins fr adult immunizatins. Infrmatin n vaccines are available at n cst frm the CDC. Nurses shuld be knwledgeable abut vaccine use and safety. A natinal vaccine surveillance system exists that track adverse events related t vaccines. Adult Immunizatins Purpse The purpse f this ENA Tpic Brief is t prvide infrmatin abut adult immunizatins s that nurses are knwledgeable abut recmmended prtectin against vaccine- preventable diseases. Immunizatins are an excellent and effective way t prtect neself against many cmmunicable diseases. Immunizatin schedules are ften assciated nly with infants and children, but recmmendatins fr adult immunizatins are als available. The Advisry Cmmittee n Immunizatin Practices (ACIP) f the Centers fr Disease Cntrl and Preventin (CDC) annually reviews and updates the Adult Immunizatin Schedule that is designed t infrm health care prviders abut evidence- based guidelines regarding necessary immunizatins. Overview The understanding f hw immunity t disease is achieved has advanced significantly in the last century. Immunity is accmplished thrugh the presence f antibdies prteins prduced by the bdy t destry disease- carrying rganisms. These antibdies are disease specific. Immunity can be prduced actively by expsure t an actual disease r by intrductin f a dead r weakened frm f the disease- prducing rganism by vaccinatin. S, if the individual cmes int cntact with the same disease at a future pint, the immune system recgnizes the threat and prduces specific antibdies against it. Immunity can als be achieved by a passive mechanism when an individual is given the antibdies t the disease rather than prducing them. Passive immunity is immediate but nly lasts fr a shrt time. Individuals wh d nt have active immunity t a specific disease may have a prtective barrier arund them if a large ppulatin is present that has a high vaccinatin rate against that disease.1 This may inhibit disease spread. Thus vaccinatin may nt nly prtect the individual but thers in the envirnment as well. The infrmatin n immunity is incmplete withut a lk at the histry f vaccines. The first successful vaccine was develped ver tw centuries ag t cmbat smallpx, which was a cause f epidemics wrldwide. The success f this first vaccine in reducing disease spread and preventing staggering death rates frm this cmmunicable disease led the way fr the develpment f new vaccines that remain in use tday. Befre the develpment and use f vaccines, millins f American children died frm childhd diseases such as pli, diphtheria, and pertussis. These childhd diseases and many thers are rarely seen due t the prevalence f immunizatin amng children.

ENA Tpic Brief arund the understanding f the battle between the human immune system and viral diseases. Viruses need a hst t survive and are capable f cntinuing mutatin and adaptatin. This adaptatin causes the virus t lk different, s antibdies develped frm a prir infectin r vaccinatin may nt effectively fight the presenting virus. Seasnal influenza is ne f thse viruses. It is a simple entity belnging t ne f three main types A, B, and C but in cmmn jargn all three are referred t as the flu. Certain strains f influenza have higher rates f serius cmplicatins than ther strains. Tday vaccines are the mst successful and cst- effective public health tls fr preventing deaths frm cmmunicable disease.2 Vaccines are recmmended fr adults n the basis f age, prir vaccinatins, health cnditins, lifestyle, ccupatin, and travel. Unfrtunately, the incidence f vaccine preventable diseases in the United States is still high, and nearly 50,000 adults die annually frm diseases that culd have been prevented by vaccinatin.3 Accrding t Healthy Peple 2020, vaccine- preventable diseases such as influenza and pneumcccal pneumnia cntinue t be leading causes f hspital admissins, medical csts, and mrbidity and mrtality.4 An ptimal respnse t vaccine is dependent n multiple factrs such as age r ther medical cnditins. In 2013, vaccines are available t prtect children and adults against 17 diseases that can cause death and serius lng- term disabilities such as paralysis, hearing lss, and infertility. Current levels f apprpriate vaccinatin in the adult ppulatin remain lw, and health care prviders shuld rutinely assess a patient s vaccinatin histry and immunizatin status. 5 The current lw vaccinatin rate in adults is cmpunded by an increase f glbal travel. Nurses attentin t their persnal immunizatin needs als is key t creating that prtective pl f vaccinated individuals in the envirnment which can help inhibit cmmunicable disease spread. Adverse events d ccur with vaccinatin just like they d ccur with the use f any medicatin. Sme f these adverse events may be cnsidered as side effects f medicatin administratin such as redness at the site f inculatin, lw- grade fever, r muscle sreness. All vaccines are tested in clinical trials. There is a natinal vaccine safety surveillance prgram that cllects and analyzes reprts f adverse events that happen after vaccinatin. This Vaccine Adverse Event Reprting System (VAERS) is managed by bth the CDC and the U.S. Fd and Drug Administratin.6 VAERS serves t alert scientists develping vaccines that a fcused study may be needed t determine if the adverse event has a medical link t that particular vaccine. Anyne can submit a reprt t VAERS by accessing the website at http://vaers.hhs.gv/esub/step1 and fllwing the directins. Many myths exist abut the safety and effectiveness f vaccines. Nurses are frequently in an ptimal psitin t have a fact filled cnversatin with patients related t the rle f vaccinatin in preventing diseases, s they need t be knwledgeable abut the rle and need f vaccinatin. Accurate evidence based facts related t vaccine safety are available frm the CDC. The CDC als prvides research studies and fact sheets n vaccine- preventable diseases that address the cmmn myths that appear in ther surces.
