Adult Immunization Update

Course overview

Adult immunization is a critical component of preventive healthcare, reducing morbidity and mortality from vaccine-preventable diseases. Despite advances in vaccine development and national recommendations, adult vaccination rates remain suboptimal. This course provides healthcare professionals with an evidence-based update on current adult immunization schedules, new vaccine recommendations, safety considerations, and best practices for improving vaccine uptake in diverse adult populations. Participants will review current guidelines, emerging infectious disease trends, vaccine storage and handling standards, contraindications and precautions, documentation requirements, and strategies to address vaccine hesitancy. Emphasis will be placed on practical application in clinical settings, including primary care, specialty care, occupational health, and public health environments.
