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 year. From newer vaccines to changing guidelines, the landscape has changed for payers, providers and patients. This two part webinar series 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:

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

  • Discuss the epidemiology and costs associated with treatment of vaccine-preventable illness in older adults

  • Assess the latest clinical guidelines regarding the timing of HPV immunizations in preteens, teens and young adults and how COVID-19 has affected vaccinations

  • Examine current adult vaccination recommendations for the influenza; pneumococcal; and herpes zoster vaccines with COVID-19 in mind
