IAC recently revised the resource for healthcare professionals titled Before you vaccinate adults, consider their “H-A-L-O”! This piece features a chart to help immunization providers assess possible vaccine indications based on a patient’s Health, Age, Lifestyle and Occupation.
Changes were made: to add a risk factor of living in an outbreak area as one of the indicators for HepA, MenACWY and MenB vaccination; to create a separate section for MenB vaccine; and to add the permissive recommendations for HepA, HepB and MenB within the “Age Factors” column.
