  4. Adult Immunization : Make the Case – Make It Happen • Practice Assessment • Team Education • Patient Education • Billing / Reimbursement • Documentation

  5. Incorporating Adult immunization in Your Practice : Start with the ACIP Adult Schedule • Practice Assessment • Which vaccines to stock? • Age range and medical conditions of your patients • Vaccine Storage: separate freezer (shingles vax) / dedicated refrigerator • Ready, set: Order (and bill) • Ordering vaccines: point person • Billing (know your ICD’s and CPT’s and don’t forget administration fees)

  6. Media Hooks • Use them to start the conversation

  7. Make it happen: The Hook How the Media can help you Examples: • Measles at Disneyland • Mumps in the National Hockey League • Pertussis epidemics • Flu: trends/ outbreaks • Last year’s low flu vaccine effectiveness is opportunity for discussion: this year’s vaccine has had a makeover (strains covered are different)

  8. Make it Happen • Show that you are a believer • Practice what you preach • Flu vaccination clinic for staff • Use vaccine effectiveness to show how everyone needs vaccination (not 100%) • Even if you don’t get real sick, you could give it to elderly relative • Tdap-Use family discussions with patients (grandchild --niece--nephew on the way)

  9. Social Media: Tweet/ Facebook Photo from Office Flu Clinic with Reminder that Flu Shots are in!

  16. If you don’t stock it, write Rx for it!

  17. Pneumococcal Vaccination Confusion: Dispelling the Myths • Confusion about which vaccine is needed • Confusion about which vaccine to get first • Confusion about coverage by Medicare • Confusion by pharmacies as to what to give (anecdote: gave patient Rx to get PCV 13; pharmacy gave them PPSV23 and patient had received that already!)

  18. PCV 13 and PPSV 23 can NOT be given at the same time! ACIP recs: • The minimum acceptable interval between the PCV13 and then PPSV23: 8 weeks • Recommended interval between the PCV13 and then PPSV23 : 6-12 months • Adults 65 years of age or older who have previously received PPSV23 should receive the PCV 13 at least 1 year aftertheir most recent dose of PPSV23. • Medicare coverage parameters are different

  19. Pneumococcal vaccination is covered under Medicare Part B Source: http://www.medicare.gov/coverage/pneumococcal-shots.html • Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers a pneumococcal shot to prevent pneumococcal infections (like certain types of pneumonia). • Part B also covers a different second shot 11 months after the exam where you got the first shot.
