44th National Immunization Conference (NIC): Evaluation of the Tdap Vaccination Recommendation for Adults

Presenters in this workshop will discuss 1) Tdap administration during an outbreak of pertussis in a university, 2) a survey finding missed opportunities or insufficient communication to patients about Tdap, and 3) standing orders for "cocooning" by providing Tdap to infant caregivers in an underserved population.
