[MCOH-EH] Pneumococcal and Herpes Zoster Vaccines

[Jordana L. Mcdonald]

We do not offer zoster, pneumococcal, HPV, Hep A, meningococcal or other vaccines/travel vaccines, just the HEP B, Tdap, Td, MMR, Varicella and influenza.  We don't have a group to which the meningococcal applies occupationally or we would do that one or at least I would advocate for it.  Most of others are available to the employees through their regular health insurance, though some of the travel vaccines they may have to pay for.

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?
