Healthcare Worker (HCW) Immunization Recommendations
Hepatitis B vaccine Influenza (both seasonal and H1N1) vaccinesMMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccineVaricella (chickenpox) vaccineTd or Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis-aka
“whooping cough”) vaccine
![Page 4: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Hepatitis BSerious disease that affects liverCaused by hepatitis B virus (HBV)Can cause acute (short-term) illness:
Loss of appetiteTirednessDiarrhea and vomitingJaundice (yellow skin or eyes)Muscle, joint, and stomach pain
![Page 5: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Hepatitis BSome develop chronic HBV infectionChronic HBV infection often leads to:
Liver damage (cirrhosis) Liver cancer Death
Those infected can spread HBV to others, even if they don’t appear sick
HBV is spread through contact with blood or body fluids of an infected person
![Page 6: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Hepatitis BHepatitis B vaccine
can prevent hepatitis B
Hepatitis B vaccine is usually given as a series of 3 or 4 immunizations
![Page 7: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Seasonal Influenza Caused by influenza virus, which can be spread
by coughing, sneezing, or nasal secretionsCan occur any time from November through MayInfluenza can cause:
FeverCoughSore throatChillsMuscle achesFatigueHeadache
![Page 8: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Seasonal InfluenzaFor most people, influenza lasts only a few
daysSome people, such as infants, older adults,
and those with certain health conditions, can get much sicker
Can cause high fever and pneumonia, and make existing medical conditions worse
Influenza vaccine can prevent influenza
![Page 9: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Seasonal InfluenzaTwo types of seasonal influenza vaccine:
Inactivated vaccine or “flu shot”Live, attenuated (weakened) influenza vaccine is
sprayed into nostrils and may be given to non-pregnant, healthy HCWs ages 49 years and younger
These vaccines do not protect against H1N1 influenza
Influenza vaccines are updated every year and an annual immunization is recommended
It takes up to 2 weeks for protection to develop after immunization and protection lasts for up to a year
Can’t get influenza from influenza immunization
![Page 10: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
H1N1 InfluenzaVery contagious-appears to be spreading from
human to human more easily than typical seasonal influenza
Symptoms include:FeverCoughSore throatBody achesHeadacheChillsFatigueDiarrhea (in some people)
![Page 11: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
H1N1 InfluenzaMay make underlying chronic medical conditions worseRisk for infection among people 65 years or older less
than risk for younger age groupsPriority groups when vaccine first becomes available:
Pregnant womenCaretakers of children younger than 6 months of ageHealthcare and emergency medical services personnelPeople 6 months-24 years of agePeople 25-64 years with chronic health disorders or
compromised immune systems
![Page 12: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
LAIV QuestionsCan contacts of people with weakened immune
systems get the nasal-spray flu vaccine LAIV (FluMist®)?People who are in contact with others with severely
weakened immune systems when they are being cared for in a protective environment (for example, people with hematopoietic stem cell transplants), should not get LAIV (FluMist®). People who have contact with others with lesser degrees of immunosuppression (for example, people with diabetes, people with asthma taking corticosteroids, or people infected with HIV) can get LAIV (FluMist®).

Measles, Mumps, RubellaMeasles, mumps, and rubella are serious
diseasesMeasles virus causes rash, cough, runny
nose, eye irritation, and feverMeasles can lead to:
Ear infectionPneumoniaSeizures (jerking and staring)Brain damageDeath
![Page 14: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Measles, Mumps, RubellaMumps virus causes fever, headache, and
swollen glandsMumps can lead to:
DeafnessMeningitis (infection of brain and spinal cord
covering)Painful swelling of testicles or ovariesDeath (rarely)
![Page 15: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Measles, Mumps, RubellaRubella (German Measles) virus causes rash,
mild fever, and arthritis (mostly in women)If a woman gets rubella while she is
pregnant, she could have a miscarriage or her baby could be born with serious birth defects
Measles, mumps, and rubella spread from person to person through the air
Measles, mumps, rubella vaccine can prevent these diseases
![Page 16: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Measles, Mumps, RubellaAdequate evidence of immunity to measles,
mumps, rubella for persons who work in health care facilities:Measles and mumps:
Documented administration of 2 doses of live virus measles and mumps vaccine or
Laboratory evidence of immunity or laboratory confirmation of disease or
Born before 1957 (caveats apply and are available at: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/provisional/default.htm)
![Page 17: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Measles, Mumps, RubellaRubella
Documented administration of one dose of live rubella virus vaccine or
Laboratory evidence of immunity or laboratory confirmation of disease or
Born before 1957 (except women of childbearing age who could become pregnant)((caveats apply and are available at: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/provisional/default.htm)
![Page 18: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Varicella (Chickenpox)Usually mild, but can be serious, especially in
young infants and adultsCauses rash, fever, and tirednessCan lead to:
Severe skin infections and scarsPneumoniaBrain damageDeath
![Page 19: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Varicella (Chickenpox)Can be spread from person to person through
air, or by contact with fluid from chickenpox blisters
Person who has had varicella can get painful rash called “shingles” years later
Varicella vaccine can prevent varicella
![Page 20: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Varicella (Chickenpox)Anyone who is not
fully vaccinated, and never had varicella, should receive 1 or 2 doses of varicella vaccine
![Page 21: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Tetanus, Diphtheria, PertussisTetanus (lockjaw) causes painful muscle spasms,
usually all over the bodyTetanus can lead to tightening of the jaw
muscles so the victim can’t open his mouth or swallow
Diphtheria causes a thick covering in the back of the throat
Diphtheria can lead to breathing problems, paralysis, heart failure, and even death
Pertussis (whooping cough) causes severe coughing, vomiting, and disturbed sleep
![Page 22: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Tetanus, Diphtheria, PertussisTetanus enters body through cuts, scratches,
or woundsDiphtheria and pertussis are spread from
person to person
![Page 23: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Tetanus, Diphtheria, PertussisAll adults should get a
booster of Td every 10 years
Adults under 65 who have never gotten Tdap should substitute it for next booster dose
HCWs under 65 who have direct patient contact should get Tdap
![Page 24: Rosemary Spence, RN MA Adult/Adolescent Immunization Coordinator Colorado Immunization Program Home Care Advisory Meeting November 4, 2009](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e615503460f94b5ca5b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
