Description:
The world of immunizations in adolescents and adults has changed dramatically over the past 10 years. And now that is even more true with the COVID-19 pandemic of the last few years. From newer vaccines to changing guidelines, the landscape has changed for payers, providers and patients. This webcast will take a close look at those changes on immunizations in adolescents and adults, and the affect that the COVID-19 pandemic is having on these immunizations. Attendees will be updated on the latest data and guidelines to help increase rates, costs and patient outcomes.


 Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Assess the socioeconomic and public health consequences of vaccine hesitancy and interrupted or delayed routine immunizations due to the COVID-19 pandemic

  • Examine recent guideline and recommendation updates on adolescent and adult immunizations

  • Explore the latest data and approvals for HPV, pneumococcal, RSV, shingles, and meningococcal vaccines

  • Apply understanding of the updated guideline recommendations for the co-administration of vaccines with SARS-CoV-2 vaccines

  • Utilize evidence-based and cost-effective managed care policies to enhance vaccine administration and compliance
