� Pneumococcal complexity
� Meningococcal changes
� Zoster challenges
� Hepatitis B special indications
� HPV expanding recommendations
� Tdap emphasis in pregnancy
� Asplenic vaccine protocols
� Virtual vaccination

Resources
� CDC/Annals/JAMA/MMWR

� ACIP
� Advisory board for vaccines

� Doc, I want the best flu vaccine and I want it as soon as
possible.
COPYRIGHT
Issues of Concern
� Maximal influenza vaccine efficacy 59%
� Much lower than desired, especially in high risk individuals
� Discrepancy between publicity and efficacy.
� Recommendations not evidence based
� Limited benefit noted for children >7 years
� Limited safety and efficacy data for pregnant women
� Lack of benefit
� Greater vaccination of elders with limited mortality benefit
� Limited documented benefit in high risk groups
COPYRIGHT
High Dose Influenza Vaccine
� 4 times the antigen dose as standard dose vaccine
� Trivavlent only (2 A serotypes and 1 B)
� Approved only for those 65 and older
� Cost up to 3X, usually covered by Medicare
� 24% higher antibody response
� Lower rate of hospitalizations
� No proven mortality benefit to date.
COPYRIGHT
Pregnancy and Influenza
Not clear that pregnancy increases risk for contracting
influenza.
Vaccine decreases risk of influenza 24-50% infection.
Most data for increased risk for influenza complications in
pregnancy comes from pandemics
In pandemic pregnancy increases risk for more severe
disease and death from influenza.
First trimester influenza linked to increased congenital
anomaly(OR 2.0). Antipyretics attenuate this risk.
COPYRIGHT
Egg Allergy Kerfuffle
� Unified statements by allergy associations:
� "Vaccine providers and screening questionnaires do not need to ask about the egg allergy status of recipients of influenza vaccine.”
� Anaphylaxis to eggs
� 1,000’s of patients, including with anaphylaxis, have safely received influenza vaccines manufactured with albumin
� Observation in office could be considered
� Egg free options
� Cell culture
� Recombinant tri / quadravalent vaccine
COPYRIGHT
Antigen Match
� Greater valency (H1,H2, H3) (H5, H9 pandemic)
� Hemagglutinin head of virus
� Neuraminidase nonneutralizing. Limit spread
� Consider sites not involved with rapid antigenic drift
� Highly conserved
� Viral stalk
� Alternative antigen matches
� Membrane proteins expressed on infected cells
� The Compelling Need for Game-Changing Influenza Vaccines. 10/2012
COPYRIGHT
Immune Boosters
� Adjuvants
� Oil in water, aluminum salts
� Induce local inflammatory response
� Boost innate immune response
� Increased local reactions
� Short term and long term safety
� Unknown efficacy
� Serial vaccinations
� Boostering effect
� Immune stimulants
COPYRIGHT
Vaccine Effectiveness
� Antigen Match
� Immune response in individual
� Herd immunity
� Persistence of immunity
� Effectiveness in high risk individuals
� Seasonal and pandemic coverage
� MMWR June 5, 2015 64(21);583-590
COPYRIGHT
Durability of response
� Avoid annual vaccination
� Requires ability to offer wide antigen coverage or conserved
sites
� Requires robust and sustained immune response
� Reduced cost
� Greater effectiveness
� Sustained response especially helpful in elders
� Annual vaccination least effective in elders
� Declining response to vaccines/antigens
COPYRIGHT
What does this mean to you or
your patient?
� Understand true expected efficacy of the influenza
vaccine—59% at best
� Limit exposure, especially for high risk individuals
� With exposure consider prophylaxis for high risk
individuals.
� Reduce modifiable risk factors (smoking, obesity)
� Advocate for change/improvement
� Participate in trials and research

� Reduce prevalence and mortality of pertussis, especially in neonates who carry highest risk
� Minimize vaccination requirementsCOPYRIGHT
Tdap Timing in Adulthood
� FDA FINALLY approved Tdap for serial use
� One Tdap booster in early adulthood due to waning
pertussis immunity and high prevalence.
� Td OR Tdap every 10 years
� 5 year frequency for concerning wounds

� Can smaller firms scale up rapidly? millions of doses?
� Stockpile
