We are moving toward offering "non-occupational" ACIP-recommended adult vaccines, although workflow and cost/reimbursement issues remain .  So far, modest demand has been primarily for zoster and pneumococcal vaccines. I'd love to hear if and how others are addressing this need.  Amy

Hi Everyone,



How many of you administer these or other vaccines in addition to the usual occupational medicine department vaccines (MMR, Tdap, Flu, Hepatitis B)?  Are there any other vaccines you offer?
