As summer comes to a close, children across the country are preparing for the new school year. With schools across the U.S. returning to in-person learning, we discuss the importance of students staying up to date with routine immunizations to reduce the spread of vaccine-preventable illnesses.

Vaccines imitate an infection, triggering an immune system response that helps the body effectively defend itself when it is exposed to the infection in future. While immunity for some diseases can be achieved with a single vaccine dose, factors like disease mutations, immune system health, length of inoculation period, and vaccine type impact the overall protection the vaccine provides and can create a need for two or more vaccine doses to achieve optimal outcomes.

Routine vaccination rates across the country have struggled to return to pre-pandemic levels. However, practices that have leveraged vaccine delivery partnerships, both in the public and private sectors, have seen increased vaccination rates in their communities. Explore these successful partnerships and how your practice can apply similar strategies to increase immunization uptake.

Substantial declines in childhood and adolescent vaccination rates are occurring across the United States, not just at your practice. Learn how to effectively overcome existing barriers to pediatric vaccine hesitancy and protect children from preventable diseases.

Cancer treatment is at the forefront of public health efforts. Providers can reaffirm their commitment to advancing the fight against cancer by educating patients on the role of vaccines in cancer prevention and treatment.

As more people become vaccinated against COVID-19, the term “herd immunity” has emerged as a popular buzzword. In preventing the spread of disease within communities and protecting those who cannot be vaccinated, herd immunity is essential to disrupting chains of infection.

There is often a focus on the importance of routine immunization for children, however adult routine immunizations are just as critical for immunity. With back to season in full swing, we discuss the importance of good immunization health for educators and the unique opportunity they have to set an example for their students.

Preventing public health crises and lowering mortality rates, vaccines have revolutionized global health. With the latest mRNA vaccine technology ushering in a new era of vaccinology, there has been a renewed interest in vaccine development for researchers. In recognition of National Immunization Month, we reviewed some of the key vaccine innovations throughout history that protected people of all ages against serious diseases.

As more people become vaccinated against COVID-19, countries around the world are re-opening for travel and tourism. But it’s not just COVID-19 that patients need protection from. Depending on the planned destination, patients may also need additional travel vaccines.
