Improving the rates of inpatient pneumococcal vaccination: impact of standing orders versus computerized reminders to physicians.
TL;DR: Although both interventions were effective in increasing inpatient pneumococcal vaccination rates relative to baseline practice, physician independent initiation of standing orders was clearly more effective.
Journal ArticleDOI
An update on the prevention of influenza in children and adolescents
TL;DR: compliance of many physicians and patients with immunisation recommendations is rather poor, several barriers to immunisation have been identified and neuraminidase inhibitors with curative and preventive efficacy against influenza virus types A and B have become available.

Pharmacist scope of practice.
TL;DR: Some positions include support for patient education and hospital rounds, opposition to independent pharmacist prescriptive privileges and initiation of drug therapy, increased use of the pharmacist as immunizer (as allowed by state law), and continued support for the American College of Physicians-American Society of Internal Medicine 1990 therapeutic substitution position.

Hospital-based influenza and pneumococcal vaccination: Sutton's Law applied to prevention.
TL;DR: This commentary will address the following six issues: the epidemiological rationale for hospitalbased influenza and pneumococcal vaccination; the translation of these epidemiological findings into clinical and public policy; changes in the scientific understanding of the benefits of influenza and pneumoniae vaccination; experience in implementing hospitalbased programs for vaccination; practical issues for hospital-based vaccination; and an enhanced role for infection control practitioners in ensuring that Sutton’s Law for influenza and lung cancer vaccination is followed.

If You Could Halve the Mortality Rate, Would You Do It?
TL;DR: This paper aims to provide a history of vaccination in the clinic and some of the mechanisms leading to adverse events, as well as some examples of vaccine-preventable infections, which have been reported in the literature.

Pharmacist Impact on Pneumococcal Vaccination Rates through Incorporation of Immunization Assessment into Critical Pathways in an Acute Care Setting
TL;DR: Results indicate that incorporating assessment of pneumococcal immunization status into critical pathways is an effective way to improve immunization rates.
