The document contains information about vaccination rates in adolescents from 2006-2008. It shows that rates of HPV vaccination and meningitis vaccination increased over this period but rates of whooping cough and tetanus vaccination were still below the Healthy People 2010 goal of 80% in 2008. Free and low-cost vaccines are available through programs like the Vaccines for Children program.
This document discusses the risks of several common childhood vaccines:
1) Hepatitis B vaccine - It questions the need to vaccinate infants against this disease that is rarely contracted in childhood. It notes the vaccine's link to adverse effects like multiple sclerosis.
2) Hib vaccine - It argues the reduction in Hib disease may be due to replacement by other pathogens causing similar symptoms. It also cites the vaccine's link to diabetes and adverse effects reported to VAERS.
3) Polio vaccine - It discusses past issues with the oral polio vaccine potentially causing polio and shedding live virus. It raises concerns the early polio vaccines were contaminated with SV40, which may have contributed to increases in
The document discusses various topics related to vaccine safety concerns. It provides information on:
- Common myths and misconceptions about vaccine safety that confuse parents.
- Scientific studies that have found no link between vaccines and autism or other conditions.
- Ongoing monitoring of vaccine safety through systems like VAERS and studies of potential adverse effects.
- Continued recommendation of vaccines by health organizations due to the overwhelming scientific evidence that vaccines are safe and effective.
CHICKENPOX VACCINATION FOR WOMEN DR. SHARDA JAINLifecare Centre
1. Chickenpox is caused by the varicella zoster virus and infection during pregnancy can increase risks for the fetus and mother.
2. For the fetus, infection during the first or second trimester increases the risk of congenital varicella syndrome which can cause limb abnormalities and organ damage in up to 12% of cases.
3. For the mother, infection during the third trimester increases the risk of pneumonia which has a mortality rate of up to 14% without treatment.

Rotavirus is a leading cause of severe diarrhea in children under 5 globally. Two rotavirus vaccines, Rotarix and RotaTeq, have proven safe and effective in reducing severe rotavirus disease and deaths. Based on evidence from trials in developing countries showing significant public health impact, WHO now strongly recommends that rotavirus vaccines be included in all national immunization programs worldwide. The first dose should be given between 6-15 weeks of age.
The document discusses HPV vaccination and the challenges of implementing widespread vaccination programs. It summarizes that HPV vaccination has been shown to be highly effective in preventing HPV infection and cervical lesions in clinical trials. However, public acceptability and the duration of vaccine protection remain challenges. Public education efforts will be needed to encourage vaccination of teenage girls, and it is unclear if booster shots will be required to maintain long-term protection. Universal vaccination of both males and females may help maximize the benefits of HPV vaccination programs.

Nature vaccine development timeline 20 major milestonesDoriaFang
The path of vaccine development over the centuries has intertwined the relentlessness of infectious disease with the great advances of science. Here we share vaccine development milestones from Nature to navigate the breakthroughs in vaccine development.
Early treatment of perinatally HIV-infected infants provides a unique opportunity to implement immunotherapeutic strategies to prolong viral remission without lifelong antiretroviral therapy. Infants treated within days of birth have a very small viral reservoir, high levels of HIV-resistant naive T cells, and an unparalleled ability to regenerate their immune system. This population is ideal for investigating immune-based therapies that could lead to viral control without medication. Successful strategies could change how HIV infection is managed for children worldwide.
The document discusses meningococcal vaccines, including the different serotypes prevalent globally, epidemiology in India, available vaccines, target groups for routine vaccination in India, and provides guidance on several case scenarios involving meningococcal disease and vaccination recommendations. Meningococcal infections in India are typically sporadic, with outbreaks occurring. While vaccination is recommended for high-risk groups, routine vaccination of all children is not advised in India.
Zika virus was first identified in 1947 but was not considered a major health threat until the 2015 outbreak in Brazil. The virus is transmitted by mosquitos and can cause microcephaly in babies born to infected mothers. India has now reported its first three cases of Zika virus, including two pregnant women who delivered healthy babies. While most Zika infections do not cause symptoms, it is important to continue surveillance and research to better understand the virus and prevent transmission.
Measles, Vaccines, Antibodies and Big Pharma Money
Did you know that the AMA strongly discourages ANY comments by Medical Professionals that cast any doubt on the efficacy of vaccines? Did you also know there are several studies that show vaccines as being ineffective and that the basis of vaccines (formation of antibodies to speed up the immune response) has been shown to be invalid? Learn the truth here. Oh, by the way, no vaccine manufacturer can be held liable for any negative side-effects of their products.

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine was developed through a partnership between Pfizer and BioNTech. Clinical trials showed it to be over 90% effective in preventing COVID-19. The mRNA vaccine works by instructing cells to produce the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, training the immune system to recognize and attack the real virus. It requires two doses administered three weeks apart to provide full protection.

The document discusses several misunderstood determinants of COVID-19 that have been claimed but lack epidemiological evidence. It questions correlations that have been proposed between COVID-19 outcomes and factors like median age, BCG vaccination rates, religion, and disease burdens. While some correlations appear convincing based on statistics alone, the document argues they ignore important context and exceptions. There have been very few rigorous epidemiological studies of COVID-19 to determine true disease modulators and spread, and many studies have misused non-epidemiological data.

Published in Living Well Magazine (March/April 2016 edition), BiondVax's CEO considers whether flu prevention will be possible through the M-001 universal flu vaccine.
Edward Jenner performed the first vaccination in 1796 in England, using cowpox matter to immunize a child against smallpox. His work laid the foundation for modern vaccination. Today, children receive a series of vaccinations for diseases like hepatitis B, diphtheria, and measles between birth and school age. However, some parents choose not to vaccinate due to disproven fears about side effects and links to autism, putting their own and other children's health at risk. While no vaccine is completely without risk, studies show the risks of contracting diseases without vaccination far outweigh any vaccine side effects.
This document provides an overview of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. It discusses HPV and cervical cancer rates in the US. Two HPV vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix, are described that protect against HPV types 16 and 18 which cause cervical cancer, as well as types 6 and 11 which cause genital warts. The vaccines are recommended for females and males ages 9 to 26, though are most effective when received before sexual activity begins. Potential side effects are discussed, as well as treatment options for HPV infections and related cancers or warts.
This document provides information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding immunization and vaccine-preventable diseases. The summary includes:
- The number of diseases prevented by vaccines included in the routine childhood/adolescent immunization schedule has increased from 6 in 1964 to 16 in 2017.
- Vaccination has led to significant decreases in reported cases of diseases like smallpox, diphtheria, measles, and others compared to 20th century annual morbidity.
- CDC estimates that childhood vaccination between 1994-2016 prevented 381 million illnesses, 24.5 million hospitalizations, and 855,000 early deaths, saving $360 billion in direct costs and $1.65 trillion
The document discusses flu vaccines and raises questions about their effectiveness and safety. It notes that flu vaccines may only reduce flu risk by 6-44% depending on the population. Safety studies on vaccine ingredients like thimerosal and adjuvants are limited. There is little data on the new H1N1 vaccine's safety and effectiveness since normal testing will be bypassed. The document recommends boosting immunity through healthy lifestyle choices instead of relying on vaccines.

The document summarizes revised standards for adult immunization practices published in 2003. The standards were developed by over 100 experts from more than 60 organizations to encourage best practices for adult vaccination. The revised standards are more comprehensive than the original 1990 standards and focus on accessibility of vaccines, assessing patient vaccination status, patient education, proper administration techniques, strategies to improve rates, and community partnerships. Adoption of the standards aims to increase adult vaccination rates and meet Healthy People 2010 goals, as success rates are much lower for adult versus childhood immunization.
The document summarizes recommendations for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. It recommends routine HPV vaccination for females and males aged 11-12 to help reduce cancers and genital warts caused by HPV. Two HPV vaccines are approved and have shown to be highly effective and safe when administered before the onset of sexual activity according to clinical trials. Obstetrician-gynecologists should educate patients about HPV vaccination.

Our Group 2 presentation is on the Human Papilloma Virus Vaccine. We will talk about what the HPV virus is, how you contact the virus and can prevent getting the virus, some information about the vaccine which includes some pros/cons and the issues and controversy surrounding it.
1
HPV is a group of approximately 150 related viruses that can lead up to 6 different types of cancers later on in life.
HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection.
HPV appears as skin or mucous membrane growths on the vagina, cervix, rectum, anus, penis, and scrotum.
What is Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)?
HPV is spread from skin to skin sexual contact with someone who has the virus.
HPV is the most common STD. Most people do not know they have it unless they feel or see the skin irritation and see their physician for diagnosis but the lesions usually go away on their own.
How do you get HPV?
The best way to prevent contracting HPV is to avoid sexual contact with someone who has the virus.
The HPV vaccine significantly reduces your chances of contracting the virus.
Prevention of HPV
HPV vaccination
-The vaccine is recommended for children at age 11-12 years old.
-Most children only require two doses of the vaccine when vaccinated before age 15.
-Studies suggest that the protection provided by the HPV vaccine is long lasting. Data from patients followed for 10 years substantiates protection has remained high in those individuals. There has been no evidence of the protection decreasing over time.
-Over 120 million doses of the HPV vaccine have been distributed since the vaccine was licensed, and data continue to show the vaccine is safe and effective.
-HPV infections, genital warts, and cervical pre-cancers have dropped significantly since the vaccine has been in use in the United States.
-Studies indicate there have been reductions of HPV cases due to vaccines:
* 86% among teenage girls
* 71% among adult young women
* 40% among women
The HPV vaccine is recommended for boys and girls at 11-12 years of age but can be given as young as 9 and up to 14 years of age and in 2 doses that are 6-12 months apart. If the vaccine is given after age 15 up through the age of 26, there are 3 doses required. The vaccine is not recommended for people over the age of 26 but can be a discussion with their doctor if they were never vaccinated at a younger age to discuss their risk for contracting HPV and the possible benefits to receiving the vaccine at this time.
It is recommended to receive the vaccine at the younger age prior to becoming sexually active.
The vaccine should not be given to people that have had a prior allergic reaction to vaccines or who are pregnant.
There are 3 different vaccines but the Gardasil 9 is the one given in the United States.

Vaccines Safety and Effectiveness
Do you think vaccination is an important or just harmful substance forced by pharmaceutical companies cooperating with the governments to inject into people? Vaccine can be defined as “biological preparations that, when introduced into the body, cause an individual to acquire immunity to a specific disease” (Davidson. 7). So, for decades, vaccines have been considered one of the best revaluation in medical practice. A long time ago, people all around the world tried to fight with different kinds of fatal diseases by different ways, and one of the most Significant ways is to make a vaccine, to prevent such life- threatening diseases. The first vaccine was against the Smallpox disease. Smallpox is a highly contagious disease and caused a lot of fatalities all around the world, and it is transmitted between people by inhalation of droplets of virus or direct contact with smallpox lesion secretions (Davidson 25). It is a deadly disease, it caused blindness and permanent scars in the patients that survived. Finally, after several attempts to make a vaccine for Smallpox, Edward succeeded to produce an effective and safe vaccine in 1796 by using the cowpox vaccine to protect from smallpox. Cowpox is a disease cause by cows and transferred to human, and Jenner’s theory was based that whoever had cowpox will be immunized against smallpox (Davidson 29). “Edward Jenner was an English country doctor who introduced the vaccine for smallpox. Previously a keen practitioner of smallpox inoculation.”
Then, century after century, vaccine after vaccine was developed for different kinds of diseases. In the 20th century, one of the most known vaccines was Diphtheria and Tetanus vaccines. Diphtheria is a respiratory illness, causing the release of exotoxin from Corynebacterium diphtheriae bacteria which leads to death of mucus cells in the throat, mouth and nose, and as a result of cells accumulation the pseudo-membrane are build up and block the airways of the patients which causes death (Davidson 42) After years of experiments and trials to make a vaccine to fight this disease, Gaston Ramon a French veterinarian and biologist who realized that attenuated Diphtheria toxin is able to activate the immune system of people without causing serious side effects, and by 1927, the toxoid vaccine was freely used all around the world, and it succeeds to drop the number of cases of diphtheria. Then, by using the same way of toxoid, combined Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoid vaccines were produced. Tetanus can be described as a nerves system infection that leads to spasm and contract of body muscles, especially jaw muscles which make the patients unable to open their mouths (Davidson. 44)
Another example of one of the most significant vaccine is a Polio vaccine. Polio disease, mainly affecting children under 5 years old, and leading to paralysis and often to death due to immobilization of respi.

This document provides information about vaccines to help parents make informed choices. It discusses the history of vaccines and the rising vaccination schedule. Some key facts presented include that immune systems are not mature at birth and vaccines contain neurotoxins. Statistics are provided showing rising rates of chronic illnesses in children. The effectiveness and safety of certain vaccines is questioned. Natural immunity is compared to acquired immunity from vaccines. The document encourages examining risks and benefits of individual vaccines and knowing your legal rights to exemptions.
This document discusses vaccines and their importance. It begins by introducing the topic of vaccines and explains that there are many different types of vaccines that are important to receive yearly shots of. Vaccines can save lives through the medicines they contain by stimulating an immune response. The document then discusses several different types of vaccines in more detail, including live-virus vaccines, killed-virus vaccines, toxoids, and other types. It emphasizes that vaccines are administered by medical professionals to protect against diseases.
The document argues that the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine kills more people than it saves based on several calculations and studies. It claims the excess death to life ratio for the Pfizer vaccine in clinical trials and databases like VAERS is unacceptable. It also argues that reports of adverse events are much higher than baseline levels and reports of fraud in Pfizer's clinical trials have not been properly investigated. Alternative early treatment options are presented as safer alternatives.
This document summarizes key information about influenza, including its prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and practice improvement. It notes that influenza is an acute viral respiratory disease that causes millions of medical visits and thousands of deaths annually in the US. Elderly persons have the highest risk of hospitalization and death. The primary prevention method is annual vaccination, with early antiviral treatment providing the greatest clinical benefit for those infected. High-risk groups who should receive vaccination include young children, elderly adults, pregnant women, and those with certain chronic medical conditions. Vaccine effectiveness varies depending on antigenic matching between vaccine and circulating virus strains but is moderately effective at preventing influenza infections.
This document provides information about polio and polio vaccines. It discusses the history and epidemiology of poliovirus and poliomyelitis disease. It also describes the different poliovirus vaccines including inactivated polio vaccine and oral polio vaccine, vaccination schedules for routine and catch-up vaccination, and special considerations for vaccination of adults and immunocompromised individuals. Global polio eradication efforts are also summarized. Additional CDC resources on polio and polio vaccination are provided.
Addressing the counseling challenges in HPV vaccinationLifecare Centre
The document discusses the challenges of HPV vaccination in India. It notes that India accounts for a large proportion of the global cervical cancer burden, with over 96,000 new cases and 60,078 deaths annually. While screening is important for prevention, current screening coverage in India is only 3.1%. The document then outlines several common barriers to HPV vaccination among healthcare providers and patients. It seeks to address these barriers by providing concise responses and emphasizing that vaccination provides the highest protection when received before sexual debut or HPV exposure. It argues that OBGYNs are well-positioned to provide catch-up vaccination opportunities.

[1929] Researchers create
first bacterial polysaccharide

will serve as basis for
development of first conjugate
vaccine for Haemophilus
influenzae type b (Hib) 58 years
later.
* A conjugate vaccine is a vaccine that
has been “joined” to a protein in order
to improve the body’s response to
invading substances such as bacteria.
[1930-40] Pioneering research by Dr. Margaret
Pittman of the National Institutes of Health leads
to greater understanding of infections caused
by Hib and forms the basis for the first effective
treatments for invasive Hib disease. Dr. Pittman
observes that H. influenzae type b accounts for
nearly all strains that cause invasive disease.
[1970s] Research yields the first vaccine for
Hib, however vaccine effectiveness is limited
in children under 2 years of age.
[1980s] Researchers develop and test
conjugate vaccine for Hib.

A Vaccine-preventable Disease
[1920] Scientists give name
Haemophilus (Latin for “blood
loving”) influenzae to the organism
to show its relationship to flu and
blood diseases.
[1933 ] Researchers establish that flu is a virus and that
H. influenzae is the result of a secondary infection, not the
cause of flu as earlier believed. Researchers also observe
that disease is most common in children under 5 years
of age. Later research will confirm the close relationship
between age and Hib disease. Occurrence of the disease
peaks at 6-7 months of age. Cases after 5 years of age
are uncommon.
[1950-70] Advances in antibiotics improve treatment,
but fail to make progress in eliminating Hib disease,
prompting the development and licensing of vaccines
over the next two decades. Hib continues to be
the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in
children under 5 years of age with approximately
12,000 cases a year. Bacterial meningitis is an
infection of the spinal fluid and tissues that surround
the brain and spinal cord.
Of those, 3-6% of cases
result in death. Up to 30%
of survivors suffer from
neurological disorders
including hearing loss,
seizures, and mental
retardation.
[Early 1980s] Annual cases in U.S.
estimated to be about 20,000, primarily
among children younger than 5 years
of age.
[1991] Routine immunization
with Hib conjugate vaccines
recommended by American
Academy of Pediatrics,
Committee on Infectious
Diseases and the U.S. Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
[1889] Haemophilus influenzae
(H. influenzae) bacterium isolated
during the 1889 influenza (flu)
pandemic by Dr. Richard Pfeiffer.
Bacterium is believed at the time to
be a cause of flu.
[1995] CDC study finds that immunization
with conjugate Hib vaccines has
drastically changed the epidemiology of
bacterial meningitis, making it a disease
of adults rather than infants and young
children. Median age of cases rises from
15 months in 1986 to 25 years in 1995.
[Present] Hib cases in the U.S. have declined by more than 99% since the
introduction of vaccines. Three Hib vaccines are licensed for use in infants as young
as 6 weeks of age. All three have been shown to be highly effective.
Despite the amazing success of Hib vaccination in the U.S., Hib disease remains a
threat. Without high immunization rates, Hib could still strike at the same level (one in
200 children with a death rate of 5%) as before vaccines were available in the U.S.
Worldwide, Hib remains a major source of deaths and disabilities in children, with
an estimated three million cases of serious disease and as many as 700,000
deaths a year.

Technology used to create conjugate vaccines for
Hib serves as a model for vaccines developed in
the next decade.

Vaccines have saved millions of lives, mainly babies
and children.
True. Before vaccines were available to protect us, millions of children and adults in the United States lost their lives or
were permanently harmed due to deadly infections like polio, whooping cough (pertussis) and flu (influenza). But now, many
of these diseases have virtually disappeared, thanks to vaccines! However, if parents don’t continue to vaccinate children,
many of these diseases can, and will, return.
Vaccines prevent more than a dozen potentially deadly
diseases in children by age 2.
True. By the time children reach age 2, today’s vaccines can protect against serious diseases including chickenpox (varicella),
whooping cough, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, Hib disease, hepatitis A & B, rotavirus, pneumococcal
disease (pneumonia, blood infections and meningitis) and flu. That’s 14 diseases your child is protected against with vaccines!
Because of vaccines, some diseases no longer occur in the
United States.
True. Since vaccines for polio and smallpox came into everyday use, neither disease occurs in the United States. In fact,
vaccination efforts have been so effective that smallpox doesn’t occur anywhere in the world!
Vaccination is one of the top public health achievements
over the last 100 years.
True. Vaccination is considered to be one of the “Ten Great Public Health Achievements in the 20th Century.”* In fact,
vaccination is at the top of the list! Why? Because vaccines protect children against many diseases that were feared
generations ago. (*According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
You should talk to your health care provider about how
on-time vaccination can help protect your baby.
True. Your health care provider has played a big role in helping to protect children through vaccination and can answer any
questions you have. By working with your provider, you can help ensure that your child is healthy and fully protected!

National Data Show
Immunization Gaps for All Vaccines
In 2008, the CDC reported second-year results from
the National Immunization Survey-Teen (NIS-Teen). This
national survey assesses adolescent vaccination rates
based on data gathered from health care providers.4
None of the vaccines in the survey had coverage rates
of 90 percent, the goal established by “Healthy People
2010,” the Department of Health and Human Services’
national preventive health care initiative (Figure 1).5
Rates were higher for the catch-up vaccines, likely
because they have been on the immunization schedule
for a longer time, and lower for the newer vaccines.
U.S. Adolescents Are
Vulnerable to Vaccine-
Preventable Diseases
Vaccines recommended for adolescents are underused,
leaving our nation’s teens vulnerable to serious morbid-
ity and even death. Health care providers should make
every effort to vaccinate adolescents according to our
national immunization schedule to benefit adolescents,
their close contacts and society at large.* The U.S.
immunization schedule is the product of careful and
extensive review of all aspects of vaccines (e.g., effec-
tiveness, safety, cost) by a 15-member expert panel, the
Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP),
and the adoption of the committee’s recommenda-
tions by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) in collaboration with the American Academy of
Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians
and other professional organizations.1
Vaccines recommended for use in adolescents can be
grouped into several categories (Table 1).2
Influenza vac-
cine is recommended every year for all children, including
adolescents, up to age 18. Three more recently licensed
vaccines are recommended for first-time administration
during adolescence. “Catch-up” vaccines, which have
been available for a longer time, are for administration to
adolescents who were not immunized or were under-
immunized as infants and toddlers. There are also three
vaccines recommended for use in certain high-risk ado-
lescent subpopulations.Together, these vaccines protect
adolescents from 14 infectious diseases.
Achieving and maintaining high immunization rates is
critical for disease prevention. The highly effective U.S.
childhood immunization program has led to elimination
of smallpox, greater than 99 percent reductions in diph-
theria, measles, polio and rubella, and to a greater than
90 percent reduction in mumps, tetanus and pertussis.3
These successes are rooted in widespread infant and
toddler vaccination. Widespread immunization of ado-
lescents can lead to similar positive results.
However, it is encouraging to note that rates for all vac-
cines increased compared with data from the first NIS-
teen report in 2007. Of the vaccines on the schedule for
at least five years, MMR vaccine coverage is highest at
89 percent and tetanus-containing vaccine coverage
is lowest at 72 percent. The latter is a combined rate
that includes vaccination with either the older tetanus
and diphtheria vaccine (42 percent) or with the newer
Tdap vaccine (30 percent), which includes acellular
pertussis. Inclusion of pertussis is particularly impor-
tant because pertussis has been on the rise in the U.S.
since 1976.6
Vaccines Prevent Serious
Morbidity and Mortality
Vaccine-preventable diseases can cause serious
morbidity and mortality in adolescents and their close
contacts. Even when treated quickly and appropriately,
meningococcal disease kills about 10 to 14 percent
of people infected, and 11 to 19 percent of survivors
suffer serious long-term effects such as hearing loss,
brain damage and digit or limb amputation.7-9
About
70 percent of cases of meningococcal disease in U.S.
adolescents are caused by strains included in the vac-
cine.10
Vaccinating adolescents at 11-12 years of age is
important because adolescents are at increased risk of
meningococcal disease.11
Pertussis is substantially underreported, making it
difficult to pinpoint U.S. incidence,12
but some estimates
range from 1 million to over 3 million cases per year.13,14
Whether cases in adolescents are subclinical, of minor
clinical importance or more severe, infected adoles-
cents may serve as an important reservoir of infection
for neonates and others at higher risk of serious illness
or pertussis-related death.15-18
Tdap is a highly effective
vaccine that replaces the previously recommended Td
vaccine as the booster at 11-12 years of age or in older
adolescents who need a Td booster.2
There are over 6 million new human papillomavirus
(HPV) infections in the U.S. each year; nearly three in
four are in females 15-24 years of age.19
While most of
these infections will be cleared by the immune system,
infection can lead to cervical cancer. The three-dose
HPV vaccine series provides protection against genital
warts and two HPV types (16 and 18) that cause about
70 percent of cervical cancers.20
Catch-up vaccines are more widely used,
leading to substantial disease prevention
The catch-up vaccines are associated with much higher
vaccination rates and, therefore, with much greater ben-
efits to date. For example, from 1990 to 2004, incidence
of acute hepatitis B declined 75 percent as infant
immunization increased;21
the last indigenous case of
polio reported in the U.S. was in 1979;22
and, since the
introduction of vaccines to combat measles, mumps
and rubella, U.S. incidence of these illnesses has
decreased 99 percent.23
Adolescent Vaccination
2 3 4
Bridging from a strong childhood foundation to a healthy adulthood
Influenza vaccine recommendations
expanded to include all adolescents
In 2008, CDC expanded its influenza recommendations
to include annual immunization of all children 6 months
to 18 years of age.24
Influenza kills more
Americans every year
than all other vaccine-
preventable diseases
combined.25
While
deaths in children are
not common, they do
occur in children of all
ages and health status.
In the 2003-2004
season, 37 percent
of the 153 pediatric
deaths reported were
in children 5 to 18 years of age and 67 percent were in
children with no underlying risk factor26
A Broad Approach Is Necessary
to Increase Vaccination Rates
Barriers to increased immunization* rates can be
grouped into three main categories: family- or patient-
related, provider-related and system-related. All three
need to be addressed if immunization rates in adoles-
cents are to be increased.
One of the most important issues facing adolescents
is less than optimal use of medical homes and lack of
regular well-care visits. Most primary care visits for ado-
lescents are not preventive visits.27
Therefore, a compre-
hensive health care visit is recommended for all adoles-
cents at 11-12 years of age.28
Making this visit routine for
all adolescents would provide an opportunity to deliver
much needed preventive health services, including
vaccines. However, the absence of such a routine visit
should not deter health care providers from using all
other opportunities (e.g., visits for illness or injury, sports
physicals) to provide vaccines or education and counsel
about the importance of immunization. The end-of-high-
school/college entry point is also a great time to review
immunization status and provide necessary vaccines
before insurance coverage changes.
Changing behavior among adolescents and their parents
or guardians will require education and outreach. While
younger children have little or no control over health care
decisions, adolescents often play a key role in decision
making. Therefore, it is important that adolescents, as
well as their parents or guardians, are educated about
the value of vaccines and the seriousness of vaccine-
preventable diseases. Once empowered, adolescents
and their parents or guardians may generate discussion
with their health care providers about vaccines and other
preventive health measures.
Health care providers must prepare if they are to meet
increased demand for immunization against vaccine-
preventable diseases in adolescents. They can establish
standing orders for vaccination services, use existing
immunization information systems, develop vaccina-
tion “quick visits,” especially for multiple dose vaccines,
establish office guidelines for vaccine delivery, imple-
ment reminder and recall systems, create immuniza-
tion teams (or an immunization leader in the practice)
whose job is to focus on this issue, and use the CDC’s
Comprehensive Clinic Assessment Software Applica-
tion (CoCASA†
) to assess office immunization practices.
Health care providers also need to educate themselves
and their colleagues about vaccines and the diseases
they prevent.
However, even if every traditional vaccinator in the coun-
try were perfectly prepared, delivery of all recommended
vaccine doses to adolescents would remain a challenge.
Vaccinations administered at alternative sites, like schools
and pharmacies, may be an integral component of opti-
mal immunization efforts.
System-related vaccination barriers are not remedied
easily by the action of individual health care providers or
the public. However, supportive efforts to minimize such
barriers (e.g., a nationwide immunization tracking system
and a vaccine financing system that allows adolescents
to receive all necessary vaccines, without cost barriers, at
their medical home location) may be instituted.

Patient John’s story is representative of the struggle so many
patients face on a daily basis. John is employed as a driver,
transporting many life-saving supplies and Health Counselors
needed for providing HIV care, for the Academic Model Providing
Access to Healthcare (AMPATH). His recent diagnosis of diabetes
had threatened his very livelihood as the insidious complications
of diabetes were starting to set in and prevent him from
performing his job responsibilities. With just four months of care,
John became symptom free and is back to his regular duties as
one of AMPATH’s drivers. AMPATH is providing comprehensive
diabetes care services in rural areas of western Kenya where
none had previously existed and now cares for more than 2,000
diabetic patients. AMPATH integrates chronic disease care for the
approx. 300,000 patients who receive HIV/AIDS, prenatal, and
primary care services in its clinics.
Señora Montaño has had diabetes all her life, is blind in both
eyes and often needed hospitalization. She lives in Cochabamba,
Bolivia’s third-largest city, where more than 9 percent of the
population suffers from diabetes—Clinica Vivir con Diabetes
(CVCD), Abbott Fund and Direct Relief International’s local partner,
diagnoses and treats patients with diabetes throughout the city.
CVCD is the region’s only diabetes clinic, delivering care at little
or no cost to patients like Señora Montaño. CVCD sends trained
social workers to visit diabetes patients at home to ensure that
they know how to manage their condition. Señora Montaño got
a cane and plans to go to the clinic in the future. Over the past
five years, CVCD has served more than 66,000 diabetes patients,
counseling them on disease management techniques and
healthy living habits. CVCD’s annual rate of detection of diabetes
has also increased by 250 percent.
