Institute for Safe Medication Practices releases "2022–23 Bi-Annual Report" describing vaccination-related errors and strategies to prevent them

The Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) recently released its "2022–2023 Bi-Annual Report" ([link removed]) from the ISMP National Vaccine Errors Reporting Program. The report demonstrates that errors continue to be problematic, with newer vaccines adding new opportunities for mistakes.

Analysis of nearly 2,000 events reported over the 2 years from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2023, showed that the most frequent types of reported errors were:
* Wrong vaccine (25%)
* Expired vaccine, contamination, or deterioration (20%)
* Wrong dose, both overdosing and underdosing events (12%)
* Wrong age (10%)
* Extra dose (9%)
* Wrong time or interval (7%)
* Vaccine or component omission, i.e., when only the diluent or a single component of two-component vaccine was administered (4%)
* Wrong route (2%)
* Wrong patient (1%)

ISMP’s most recent sets of best practices for hospitals ([link removed]) and community pharmacies ([link removed]) ([link removed]) show how healthcare organizations can safeguard against errors with vaccines. Additional ISMP safe practice recommendations include:
* Maximize the use of technology safeguards
* Ensure safe storage
* Verify identity, age, and vaccine(s) requested
* Prepare and label syringes
* Engage the patient
* Document the vaccine(s)
* Educate practitioners
* Report vaccine-related errors

The continued success of immunization programs relies on proper prescribing, dispensing, storage, and administration of vaccines. For more information, view the 2022–2023 Bi-Annual Report ([link removed]) .

Influenza activity is low nationally; get vaccinated now before the holidays

The 2024–25 U.S. influenza season is underway and now is the time to vaccinate. For the fourth week of the 2024–25 influenza season, week 44, ending November 2, CDC’s Weekly U.S. Influenza Surveillance Report, FluView ([link removed]) , shows low respiratory illness activity nationally.

[link removed]

RESP-NET
Visit the CDC Respiratory Virus Hospitalization Surveillance Network (RESP-NET) ([link removed]) for weekly reports of hospitalizations due to three vaccine-preventable seasonal respiratory viruses: COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.

Influenza Vaccination Dashboard
As of October 26, 2024, 28.1% of adults received a flu vaccination, similar to last year at this time. The percentage of adults who received a flu vaccination varied by age, disability status, health insurance, poverty status, race and ethnicity, sex, and urbanicity.

CDC recommends everyone age 6 months and older get annual influenza vaccination. Influenza and other vaccines (e.g., COVID-19 vaccine, RSV vaccine) may be given at the same visit, if needed. Infants age 6 months and older may receive influenza and COVID-19 vaccines at the same visit when they receive the RSV preventive antibody, nirsevimab. Identify pharmacies in your area that may offer influenza and COVID-19 vaccines by entering a zip code in the VaccineFinder on Vaccines.gov ([link removed]) or Vacunas.gov ([link removed]) .

With virtual coaching that follows and adapts to your progress, participants will increase their understanding of:
* Establishing a culture that promotes immunization confidence
* Opening the conversation with a strong recommendation using the presumptive format
* Responding with empathy to concerns about immunization using motivational interviewing
* Tailoring communication to different individuals and situations

"Trust in the Science Behind COVID-19 Vaccines as a Driver of Vaccine Acceptance in the United States, 2021–2023" published in Vaccine X

In the December 2024 issue, Vaccine X published Trust in the Science Behind COVID-19 Vaccines as a Driver of Vaccine Acceptance in the United States, 2021–2023 ([link removed]) . Demographic variables were correlated with survey results. The results section of the abstract appears below.

The results indicate that trust in science remained relatively stable over the study period and continued to be a strong predictor of vaccine acceptance, which was higher among male respondents, those with university degrees, and those with higher than median income. Notably, the experience of personal loss was significantly related to an individual’s trust in science and vaccine acceptance.
