ADULT IMMUNIZATION An Unexploited Opportunity for Prevention William Schaffner, MD Professor of Preventive Medicine Department of Health Policy Professor of Medicine (Infectious Diseases) Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Nashville, TN It is better to avert the malady by care than to have to apply physic after it has appeared. —Shao Tze A.C.I.P. CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices Immunization Successes Selected as one of 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century • • • • Smallpox eradication (globally) Polio elimination (most of the world) Measles elimination (western hemisphere) Rubella elimination (western hemisphere) CDC, MMWR 1999;48:241-243 Estimated Return on Investment of Childhood Vaccines • For each birth cohort vaccinated against 13 diseases in accordance with the schedule of DTaP, Hib, IPV, MMR, Hep B, Varicella, Hep A, Pneumo-7, and Rotavirus vaccines: – – – – – 42,000 lives are saved 20M cases of disease are prevented 13.6 billion dollars in direct costs are saved 68.9 billion dollars in direct plus indirect (societal) costs are saved For each dollar invested in these vaccinations, $10.20 is saved See presentation: by Fangjun Zhou – Tuesday Mar 29, Workshop D2 11:30am Preliminary results of updated analysis from Zhou et al, Arch of Ped and Adolesc Med 2005 Invigoration of Adult Immunization • Build on success of infant/childhood, adolescent program • New vaccines targeted at adults • Recognition of the burden of adult vaccinepreventable disease – the majority of cases and deaths due to vaccine-preventable diseases now occur in adults Adult Immunization Concepts • The vast majority of vaccine-preventable diseases occur in adults • These diseases produce substantial morbidity and mortality • Vaccine coverage of adults is suboptimal, with notable disparities of race/ethnicity and income • Your advocacy for vaccines will benefit your patients Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2012;61(04):66-72. Immunization Contrasts - 1 • • • • • • • Pediatric Diseases distinctive Fabulous vaccines Interrupt transmission Eliminate disease Universal coverage Active programs: find everyone National/global vision • • • • • • • Adult Diseases not as distinctive Good vaccines Personal protection Reduce risk Targeted populations Passive: try to immunize those presenting for care Focus on practice Immunization Contrasts - 2 Pediatric • Create hurdles: “no shots, no school • Recommendations clearly communicated • Funding rather secure Adult • Averse to hurdles • Recommendations inadequately communicated • Funding less certain CORE ADULT VACCINES INFLUENZA PNEUMOCOCCAL TDAP/TD ZOSTER HEPATITIS B HPV Burden of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases – 1 United States/Annual Rates INFLUENZA • 200,000 hospitalizations • 36,000 deaths (>85% elderly) • 44,000 cases INVASIVE • 4500 deaths PNEUMOCOCCAL • Higher rates in elderly, AA, persons DISEASE with comorbidities HEPATITIS B • 51,000 infections (>95% adults) • 2000-3000 deaths • 1.25 (m) chronic HBV infection AA, African American; HBV, hepatitis B virus.

Burden of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases – 2 United States/Annual Rates • 6.2 million new infections HUMAN • 2 HPV strains cause 70% of cervical PAPILLOMAVIRUS cancers and most anal, head and (HPV) neck cancers PERTUSSIS • Outbreaks throughout US adolescents and young adults • Most severe in infants • Source is usually an adult or older child Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. http://www.cdc.gov/. Burden of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases – 3 United States/Annual Rates SHINGLES • 1 (m) cases • Lifetime risk 30% • Incidence of shingles and postherpetic neuralgia increases with age Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. http://www.cdc.gov/.

Reasons Why Patients Not Vaccinated • Healthy, don’t think they need it • Didn’t know about disease • Didn’t know about vaccine • Doctor didn’t recommend it When It Comes to Vaccines, Doctors and Patients Aren’t Hearing One Another Most physicians say, “I talk to all of my patients about vaccines” 87% But few patients agree “Yes, I regularly discuss vaccines with my health care provider” “I occasionally discuss vaccines with my health care provider” 31% 21% 18% Physicians “I don't recall ever discussing vaccines” Patients Results are based on surveys by the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.
