| People with autism and other developmental disabilities have lower childhood immunization rates than their peers without autism, leaving them vulnerable to many vaccine-preventable diseases. The vaccination visit can be especially stressful for these families. Effective strategies exist to reduce pain and anxiety for these families during the vaccination visit. |
|
| On December 13, 2022, Immunize.org and experts from the Autism Society presented a webinar, Improving the Vaccination Experience: Accessible Vaccination for Neurodiverse People at Any Age. In this webinar, the Autism Society discussed practical tips to improve vaccine confidence by employing strategies to reduce stress when vaccinating neurodiverse patients. |
