CDC What Vaccines Do You Need? (interactive quiz) Update

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sent this bulletin at 09/20/2013 04:27 PM EDT

CDC's What Vaccines Do You Need? (interactive quiz) email subscription service. The quiz has recently been updated and is now available.

The new and improved Adolescent and Adult Quiz is now live!  Thank you for your continued efforts in supporting and working to promote adult and adolescent immunizations.  It is important to keep in mind that adults and adolescents also need vaccines.  Many adults are not aware of this and vaccination rates among adults are especially low. Vaccines may be recommended for adults based on their age, lifestyle, or health condition that could put adults at higher risk for severe complications due to vaccine preventable diseases. You may access the quiz at: http://www2a.cdc.gov/nip/adultimmsched/

The Adolescent and Adult Immunization Quiz has been updated to make it easier for the public to determine which vaccines they might need.   

Some highlights include:

• Updated with latest vaccine recommendations
• Revised questions related to the patients’ health and lifestyle that may impact their vaccine needs
• The patient is able to print their list of suggested recommended vaccines and take to their healthcare provider to discuss which vaccines they should get
