When starting where clients are at, have I failed if… A family doesn’t follow the recommendations? A family follows some of the recommendations, but not others?
When starting where clients are at, have I failed if… ABSOLUTELY NOT! YOU CANNOT CONTROL WHAT PEOPLE DO.

Adult Immunizations MIHP Community of Practice September 25, 2018
Why do we review a pregnant woman’s immunization status? • Because it matters • It affects her health • It affects baby’s health • To meet certification requirements • It is required by Medicaid policy
It matters • Whooping cough is serious for infants • Pertussis (whooping cough) is on the rise in the U.S. and in Michigan • Pertussis is most severe for babies; more than half of infants younger than 1 year of age who get the disease must be hospitalized • Pertussis can be deadly, especially in infants younger than 3 months www.michigan.gov/immunize
It matters • Infants are too young to be vaccinated • They cannot start the whooping cough vaccine series until they are 2 months old • Infants younger than 6 months aren't old enough to get the flu vaccine • The best way to protect infants is to vaccinate those around them, including parents, siblings, grandparents, day care and child care workers, and health care personnel www.michigan.gov/immunize
It matters • Women who become infected with the flu during pregnancy have a greater chance for serious problems for their unborn baby, including premature labor and delivery www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pregnancy
It matters • Flu illness is more dangerous than the common cold for children • Each year, millions of children get sick with seasonal flu • Thousands of children are hospitalized and some children die from flu • Children commonly need medical care because of flu, especially children younger than 5 years old who become sick with flu www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/children
It matters • Complications among children in this age group can include: • Pneumonia: an illness where the lungs get infected and inflamed • Dehydration: when a child’s body loses too much water and salts, often because fluid losses are greater than from fluid intake • Worsening of long-term medical problems like heart disease or asthma • Brain dysfunction such as encephalopathy • Sinus problems and ear infections • In rare cases, flu complications can lead to death www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/children
Adult immunization schedule Adults Aged 19 Years or Older by Medical Conditions and Other Indications, United States, 2018
Pregnant and postpartum women have been observed to be at higher risk for severe illness and complications from influenza, particularly during the second and third trimesters • ACIP and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommend that all women who are pregnant or who might be pregnant during the influenza season receive influenza vaccine www.cdc.gov/immunize
Mother’s Health • Tdap may be administered any time during pregnancy and provides a pertussis booster for mom • If administered in the third trimester the vaccine likely provides the highest concentration of maternal antibodies to be transferred closer to birth www.cdc.gov/immunize
DTaP vs Tdap • DTaP is a vaccine that helps children younger than age 7 develop immunity to three deadly diseases caused by bacteria: diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough (pertussis) • Tdap is a booster immunization given that offers continued protection from those diseases for adolescents and adults www.cdc.gov/immunize
Protection of Infant Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends women get a pertussis and flu vaccine during each pregnancy “Did you know that your baby gets disease immunity (protection) from you during pregnancy? To avoid the risk of hospitalization and serious complications for mom and baby,it is safe and recommended that pregnant women receive the influenza and Tdap vaccines to protect against flu, tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough).” www.cdc.gov/immunize
“Cocooning” • Vaccination strategy • Recommended by the CDC since 2006. • Aims to protect newborn infants from becoming infected • DTaP/Tdap booster vaccine for mothers, family members and any individuals who would come into regular contact with the newborn infant • Creates a pool of persons around the newborn who are themselves protected from getting pertussis and passing it on to the infant, thereby creating a "cocoon" of protection around the newborn • Young infants have the highest rate of pertussis; in 87-100% of all deaths caused by pertussis, the victim is an infant of less than 6 months of age www.cdc.gov/vaccine
Immunization record or screen shot must be added to beneficiary record
Reminder • Any pregnant woman, with a visit after 4/1/18, must have at least one MCIR review prior to discharge • MCIR printout must be in beneficiary file • If no record found—print screen shot and place in record • Discuss importance of immunizations to protect baby when born at least once during pregnancy • Do not sign printout. Signature line is intended for immunization provider
Pertussis • Transmitted primarily from person to person through aerosolized respiratory droplets generated by coughing or sneezing www.cdc.gov/pertussis
Pertussis • Young infants continue to be at greatest risk for hospitalization and death due to pertussis • Strategy of preventing pertussis in newborns through the vaccination of women with Tdap during pregnancy from 27 through 36 weeks’ gestation • 80%–91% effective for preventing pertussis in those too young to be vaccinated www.cdc.gov/pertussis
Pertussis • Acute respiratory disease • Caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis • Three phases of illness: catarrhal, paroxysmal, and convalescent • Catarrhal—coryza (inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nasal cavities), mild occasional cough, and low-grade fever • Paroxysmal—spasmodic cough, posttussive vomiting, and inspiratory whoop • Convalescent—symptoms slowly improve, generally lasts 7–10 days, but can last for months www.cdc.gov/pertussis
Pertussis • If symptoms occur, they begin an average of 90 days (or 3 months) after exposure, but they can appear any time between 8 weeks and 5 months after exposure www.cdc.gov/pertussis
