Here are action ideas for AIAW to remind, recall, and schedule immunizations:
- Contact families who have missed well visits/immunizations
- Check vaccination status during all visits to avoid missed opportunities
- Deliver confident, concise, and consistent (3Cs) vaccine recommendations
- Make scheduling vaccine appointments convenient (e.g., clinics during school vacations)
- Use your electronic health record and immunization registry to identify adolescents who are not up to date
- Co-administer recommended vaccines to maximize the opportunity to keep adolescents up to date
Together, we can boost adolescent immunization rates and help prevent vaccine-preventable diseases!
