SUMMARY:MA Adult Immunization Conference 2024
DESCRIPTION:29th Annual MA Adult Immunization Virtual Conference\nConfidence & Compassion in a Complex Vaccine World\nTuesday\, April 2\, 2024 | 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.\nConference Website \nThe 29th annual MA Adult Immunization Conference was held in-person on Tuesday\, April 2nd\, 2024. This year’s conference theme was ‘Confidence & Compassion in a Complex Vaccine World.’ The overall goal of this conference was to educate Massachusetts healthcare professionals on current and best practices for adult immunization. The 2024 conference offered an opportunity to receive the most updated information on routine adult immunization from leading experts in the field and network with immunization experts and colleagues. We discussed vaccine safety\, sexual health and vaccines\, vaccine equity\, recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for adult vaccines\, and vaccine hesitancy and misinformation. \nWe are grateful to the many supporters and exhibitors of this conference. We also honor the 2024 MA Adult Immunization Champion: Dr. Rocio Hurtado\, for bridging the linguistic divide that often separates Spanish-speaking individuals from life-saving knowledge about vaccines and for weaving a stronger fabric of vaccine confidence within communities of color in Revere\, Chelsea\, and Lowell. \n \n  \nWelcome and Introductory Remarks\nAmy Sgueglia\, MSN\, RN\nMA Adult Immunization Coalition Facilitator \n  \n  \n \nPlenary A: Vaccines Under the Microscope: How Can We Know They Are Safe?\nPaul Carson\, MD\, FACP\nProfessor of Practice\, Management of Infectious Diseases\nDept. of Public Health\, North Dakota State University \nThis presentation reviewed in detail the multi-layered systems in place in the U.S. to assure licensed vaccines are safe\, and that both providers and patients can be quite confident in their                                                   recommending and receiving vaccines. \n  \n \nPlenary B: Sexual Health and Vaccines\nKevin Ard\, MD\nMedical Director\, Assistant Professor\nMGH Sexual Health Clinic\, National LGBTQIA+ Health Center\, Harvard Medical School \nThis session discussed how vaccines play an important role in maintaining sexual health. Prevention of sexually transmitted infections through vaccination was reviewed. \n  \nPlenary C: Vaccine Equity Panel and Q&A  \nIn this panel discussion\, the participants below discussed steps taken across Massachusetts to increase vaccine equity in adult populations. While much of this recent work was done around COVID-19 and flu vaccine initiatives\, the lessons learned can be applied to all adult vaccines.
