Vaccine Update, Dr. Spencer Durham and Dr. David Ha
Recommendations for different vaccines, such as influenza, change on an annual basis. Several other vaccines have also recently undergone updated recommendations, such as pneumococcal, herpes zoster, and HPV. Pharmacists play a key role in recommending and administering vaccines, and must stay up-to-date on the newest recommendations. Additionally, Shared Decision Making may help with vaccine recommendations, and pharmacists need to be familiar with this concept. This 1hr knowledge-based program will help to address all of these areas.
