A083 maximizing influenza vaccine rates in allergy shot patients
Immunizations are a fundamental part of healthcare. Immunization status should be screened at each clinic visit. Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) and biologic patients visit allergy clinics regularly for injections and provide frequent opportunities to assess immunization status, specifically the annual influenza vaccine. Studies reveal patients are more likely to receive vaccinations when recommended by a medical provider. Annual influenza vaccine rates were 48.4% during the 2019-20 influenza season in the US.
