16 Pneumococcal PRH requirement optional CDC recommendation based upon the presence of risk factors 16

17 Haemophilus influenzae B PRH requirement optional CDC recommendation based upon the presence of risk factors 17

18 Tuberculin skin testing PRH requirement [ PRH 6.10 R1 ] : A tuberculosis skin test (Mantoux) is required of all new students who do not have documented proof of a previous negative Mantoux (PPD) test taken within the last 12 months. Annual tuberculin testing should be done for students in health occupations and for students at increased risk of infection. In addition, students in health occupations shall receive a Mantoux test prior to clinical work experience in accordance with state or local health department requirements. 18

19 Tuberculin skin testing Results of tuberculin skin testing should be interpreted without regard to a prior history of BCG vaccination. Refer to Treatment Guidelines in TAG M: Health Care Guidelines, for management of students with a positive Mantoux (PPD) test. For students with a positive PPD, local health departments will often provide chest films and nine (9) months of isoniazid prophylaxis at no cost to centers. For Job Corps students being treated with isoniazid (INH) for latent tuberculosis, neither supplemental pyridoxine (vitamin B6) nor monitoring of liver function studies is routinely indicated. 19

20 Immunization waivers The center physician may grant waivers of immunization requirements for valid medical and/or religious reasons. Such a waiver shall be clearly documented by the center physician in the student’s health record and include an explanation as to why the decision was made. [PRH 6.12 R7]

21 Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) Report all clinically significant postvaccination reactions to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) Reporting forms and instructions on filing a VAERS report are available at www.vaers.hhs.gov or by telephone at 800-822-7967

22 Immunization resources Vaccine Information Statements (VIS) A Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) is a one-page (two-sided) information sheet, produced by CDC. VISs inform vaccine recipients — or their parents or legal representatives — about the benefits and risks of a vaccine. The law requires that VISs given out whenever certain vaccinations are given. VISs are required by the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986. Their purpose is to inform vaccine recipients, or parents of children getting vaccines, about the benefits and risks of vaccines. Download current VISs from: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/vis/default.htm http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/vis/default.htm

23 Vaccines for Children (VFC) Why should I join VFC? It will enhance your ability to provide government purchased vaccine to your eligible patients and reduce Wellness Center costs. You can provide all ACIP-recommended vaccines to your eligible patients. Any provider authorized to prescribe vaccines under your state law can be a VFC Provider.

24 Vaccines for Children (VFC) How do I become a VFC Provider? First, contact your State VFC Program Coordinator. Ask for a Provider Enrollment Package to be mailed to you. Complete the State’s Provider Enrollment forms and return them as soon as possible. Prepare your office and staff for a site visit to go over the administrative requirements of the program and to ensure proper storage and handling of vaccines when you receive them.

25 Vaccines for Children (VFC) Is Medicaid federally mandated to cover ACIP’s VFC-recommended vaccines for the Medicaid population? Yes, all of ACIP’s VFC-recommended vaccines are part of the EPSDT benefit package for Medicaid children under age 21. Immunizations through age 18 years are covered by the VFC program. Children 19 years through 20 years are covered by Medicaid program funds. http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/programs/vfc/projects/faqs-doc.htm
