Health Inequities in Vaccination Optimization

Health Inequities in Vaccination Optimization is organized by CME Outfitters, LLC.

Premiere Date: Thursday, October 20, 2022
Credit Expiration Date: Monday, October 20, 2025

Description:
Disparities in the vaccination rates for traditionally underserved populations have occurred for influenza vaccinations for several years.1 These trends continue when looking at vaccinations for Covid-191 and the use of PReP agents for HIV prevention,2 and will likely continue when vaccinations for RSV are approved in the near future. Therefore, it is imperative that these disparities are discussed lest they continue for all current and upcoming vaccination efforts. HCPs need to be aware of possible reasons for the disparities (e.g., lack of access to vaccines, vaccine hesitancy) in order to find and test different strategies for educating patients and working with them to achieve vaccination equity.
In this CMEOCast podcast, expert faculty will present the challenges to equitable vaccination rates for all patients, for a variety of vaccinations, and discuss how best to learn from previous attempts to ensure current and future vaccination can occur for all patients.

Learning Objectives:
At the end of this CME/CE activity, participants should be able to:
• Analyze the influence of unconscious bias, health disparities, and health inequities on vaccine optimization.
