|
| The CDC's Advisory Committee
on Immunization Practices (ACIP) continues to recommend vaccination
against pneumococcal infections with either pneumococcal
polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV) or, for children younger than 5 years,
pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV). Indications for each of these
vaccines have not changed due to the current circulation of the
2009 H1N1 influenza virus; however, the risk of acquiring bacterial
community-acquired pneumonia following influenza infection has been
reported to be greater during pandemics. Healthcare providers should
be alerted to this increased need to administer PPSV to all
unvaccinated persons ages 65 years and older as well as younger
persons with risk conditions. |
|
| The purpose of the pocket guide is to
provide front-line healthcare personnel with information on: |
|
|
• |
|
indications and
contraindications for PPSV |
|
|
|
|
|
• |
|
information on targeted populations to be
vaccinated |
|
|
|
|
|
• |
|
details on how to administer the
vaccine |
|
|
|
|
|
• |
|
talking points for patients |
|
|
| The pocket guides are NOT intended to be distributed
to patients. They are for the use of healthcare
professionals only. We will not accept orders for less than 100 copies as we have neither staff nor the funding
to fill such orders. |
|
| PPSV pocket guides are available at no
cost to your agency or organization. We encourage you to distribute
the pocket guides to your members or constituents along with your
encouragement to use the pocket guides to avoid missed opportunities. |
