Abstract
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommend that adults 65years of age and older, those with chronic diseases and/or smokers receive pneumococcal vaccination. The cost of community-acquired pneumonias can be substantial. In our Pre-surgical Testing Center (PST) we screen according to CDC guidelines but were immunizing only 24% of those who met criteria. Literature suggests that primary causes for missing patients were staff and patient misconceptions about vaccines. We saw a need to develop effective, sustainable strategies for vaccine delivery.
