Texas Immunization Coverage Levels TVFC Conference-Permian Basin April 20, 2016 www.immunizetexas.com
Impact of Immunization Programs The routine childhood immunization program* of 4.3 million children (born in the US in 2009) is expected to prevent: ~20 million VPD cases ~42,000 VPD deaths Vaccinating this cohort will save: ~$13.5 billion in direct costs ~$68.8 billion from societal perspective *(DtaP, Polio, Hep B, PCV, Rotavirus, Hib, MMR, Hep B and Varicella) Zhou F, Shefer A, Wenger J, et al.

NATIONAL IMMUNIZATION SURVEY
2014 Child and Teen National Immunization Survey (NIS) Assess immunization levels among Pre-school children, 19-35 months old Adolescents 13-17 years of age Conducted annually by CDC Population-based, random-digit dial sample of phone numbers followed by reviewing the child s vaccination record from the provider Provides a Report Card to let us know how well we are doing in protecting our nation s children against vaccine-preventable diseases The NIS provides national and state estimates of vaccination coverage-including new vaccines as they are licensed and recommended for use

STRATEGIES TO INCREASE VACCINATION COVERAGE
DSHS Strategies to Increase HPV Vaccination Promote and encourage health care providers to make a strong recommendation for HPV vaccine Increase HPV vaccination coverage through partnerships with providers and professional clinical organizations Expand access to vaccines through the Texas Vaccines for Children Program Developing and providing educational materials to clinicians to increase awareness and strengthen provider recommendation Promote system based interventions including the use of ImmTrac, AFIX, standing orders, and reminder/recall Increase community demand for ACIP-recommended adolescent vaccines Re-launching adolescent immunization campaigns during the Back To School season
Importance of Provider HPV Recommendation Studies consistently show that a strong recommendation from a healthcare provider is the single best predictor of HPV vaccination. Less than half of adolescents in Texas have had HPV vaccine recommended to them (2013 NIS-Teen) Top three reasons Texas parents did not intend vaccinate their child against HPV include: HPV vaccine was not recommended Vaccine was perceived as not necessary or needed Lack of knowledge
Adolescent Vaccine Ordering Provider Profiles 2014 vaccine ordering data was analyzed to compare Tdap and HPV vaccine among TVFC providers Ideal ratio 3.0 (meaning for every 1 Tdap, 3 HPV are administered) Customized adolescent vaccine ordering profiles were sent to over 2,300 providers Communication stressed the importance of a strong recommendation for HPV vaccine HPV Vaccine Ordering Ratio Average (Goal: >3.0) HSR 2014 2015 Ector 0.52 0.95 Midland 1.1 1.44 9/10 1.48 1.72 State Average 1.38 1.54
Evaluation of the Provider Vaccine Ordering Project TVFC program observed a statistically significant increase in our HPV to Tdap vaccine ordering ratio for the entire state 142 providers went from ordering no HPV vaccine in June- September of 2014, to placing at least one HPV order in June- September of 2015. 959 TVFC providers increased their HPV to Tdap ordering ratio
