    Study Notes

    Collaboration with Pediatricians

    • Collaboration with pediatricians is essential in optimizing immunization delivery and ensuring comprehensive care for children.

    U.S. Healthcare Personnel Vaccination Rates (2020-2021)

    • Overall healthcare personnel vaccination rate for influenza: 91.3%
    • Physicians: 88.9%
    • Nurse Practitioners/Physician Assistants: 90.3%
    • Nurses: 90.3%
    • Pharmacists: 83.0%
    • Other clinical personnel: 75.9%

    Immune Response Overview

    • Immune response consists of innate immunity and acquired (adaptive) immunity.
    • Acquired immunity activates through exposure to antigens, leading to the production of antibodies.

    Vaccines and the Immune Response

    • Vaccines contain antigens that provoke an immune response.
    • Activation of B cells leads to antibody production, which targets and destroys antigens.
    • Memory B cells and T cells are formed for future immunity.

    Types of Vaccines

    • Live Attenuated Vaccines: Made from viruses or bacteria, require replication to stimulate an immune response.
    • Inactivated Vaccines: Contain non-replicating virus or bacteria; may include adjuvants to boost immune response.

    Considerations for Live vs. Inactivated Vaccines

    • Storage: Varies between vaccine types.
    • Dosing Schedule: Timing of doses differs.
    • Duration of Protection: Live vaccines often provide longer protection.
    • Adverse Effects and Precautions: Different profiles for each type.
    • Route of Administration: Varies based on vaccine type.

    Minimum Intervals Between Vaccines

    • No minimum for two inactivated vaccines or inactivated with live vaccines.
    • Live vaccines: 28-day minimum interval if not administered simultaneously.

    Contraindications to Vaccination

    • Severe allergies (anaphylaxis) to vaccine components are universal contraindications.
    • Minor illnesses (e.g., mild fever) typically do not preclude vaccination unless the patient is severely ill.

    Vaccination in Special Populations: Pregnancy

    • Vaccination before pregnancy is encouraged.
    • Inactivated influenza vaccine is recommended during pregnancy.
    • Tdap vaccine should be administered in the early part of the gestational weeks 27-36.
    • Avoid live vaccines during pregnancy.

    Vaccination and Immunosuppressed Patients

    • Timing and type of vaccination depend on the level of immunosuppression.
    • Live vaccines pose heightened risk, while inactivated vaccines may have reduced effectiveness.

    Pneumococcal Vaccines

    • PCV13: Approved for ages 6 weeks and older. Routine schedule includes doses at 2, 4, 6, 12 to 15 months.
    • PCV15: Approved for adults and recommended for people over 65 or with certain health conditions.
    • Pneumococcal Recommendations: Follow CDC guidelines for administering to both children and adults.

    Rotavirus Vaccines

    • RotaTeq: 3 doses at 2, 4, and 6 months.
    • Rotarix: 2 doses at 2 and 4 months.
    • Contraindicated in children with gastrointestinal problems or certain immunodeficiencies.

    COVID-19 Vaccination Guidelines

    • Primary vaccination series for Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna consists of two doses spaced apart, with additional doses for immunocompromised individuals.
    • Boosters: Recommended for individuals 18 and older at specified intervals after the primary series.

    Monovalent vs. Bivalent Vaccines

    • Clarification on the differences between monovalent and bivalent vaccines relating to COVID-19 vaccination strategies may be necessary.
