With flu season ramping up, it is the perfect time to assess patients eligible to receive additional vaccines to the flu shot. New recommendations from the CDC state that certain vaccines should be administered based on shared clinical decision making. But what does this mean? Speakers Stephan Foster and David Ha demystify this new terminology and explain why these recommendations should not prevent you from immunizing.

  1. Explain how Shared Clinical Decision Making recommendations differ from other ACIP recommendations in respect to vaccines.
  2. List the four vaccines that require Shared Clinical Decision Making.
  3. Describe resources for providers to assist in the discussions with patients concerning vaccines recommended for the Shared Clinical Decision Making Process.
