Seize the Day: Expanding Opportunities for Pneumococcal Immunization in Adults (Part 3)

Credits: 0.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ Claim CME/CE credit: https://www.pri-med.com/online-education/podcast/seize-the-day-pt-3 Overview: Most patients between ages 18 and 64 presenting to primary care practices have a comorbidity that increases their risk for invasive pneumococcal disease and thus warrants immunization. These comorbidities include diabetes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease (such as asthma or COPD), liver disease, smoking, and others. This podcast will discuss the recommendations for pneumococcal vaccines in this population.

Overview: About 20% of men older than 60 experience low testosterone; however, the prevalence of low testosterone with sexual dysfunction symptoms is significantly lower. Although there is an association between advancing age, testosterone levels, and other quality of life factors, the exact causal relationship remains challenging. This latest guideline from the American College of Physicians (ACP) examines the evidence regarding testosterone replacement recommendations.

Seize the Day: Expanding Opportunities for Pneumococcal Immunization in Adults (Part 2)

Credits: 0.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ Claim CME/CE credit: https://www.pri-med.com/online-education/podcast/seize-the-day-pt-2 Overview: Adults between the ages of 18 through 64 with immunocompromising conditions due to either anatomic defects or impaired immune response are at the highest risk for invasive pneumococcal disease. They need two different pneumococcal vaccines: pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) at the time the risk factor is recognized and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) at least 8 weeks later. This podcast will discuss how to identify these patients at high risk for pneumococcal disease and implement guidelines for administration of pneumococcal vaccination in this population.

Seize the Day: Expanding Opportunities for Pneumococcal Immunization in Adults (Part 1)

Credits: 0.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ Claim CME/CE credit: https://www.pri-med.com/online-education/podcast/seize-the-day-pt-1 Overview: The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) makes shared clinical decision-making recommendations when individuals may benefit from vaccination, but broad vaccination of all people in that group is unlikely to have population-level impact. Such a recommendation is applicable to pneumococcal vaccines whereby pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) is recommended for all adults 65 and older, while the administration of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) is based on shared decision-making. In this podcast, we will discuss the ACIP recommendations and the use of shared decision-making as it applies to pneumococcal vaccines.
