This session of Grand Rounds
This session of Grand Rounds examined how immunization has helped reduce infectious disease disparities among U.S. children, reducing infectious disease burdens in children from racial/ethnic populations, and how immunization has, as a result, contributed to health equity.
Vaccines protect both the people who receive them and those with whom they come in contact. Vaccines are responsible for the control of many infectious diseases that were once common in the US and around the world. Vaccine-preventable diseases have a costly impact, resulting in doctor's visits, hospitalizations, and premature deaths.
Immunization programs have impacted children's health. The session explored public health, clinical, and policy implications of vaccinating children and adolescents. The April Grand Rounds session opened with a talk about the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program and how it has helped reduce infectious disease disparities in children. The talk was followed by a discussion of specific efforts with Hepatitis A, and ways those efforts have helped to reduce Hepatitis A disparities. The next talk examined how immunization efforts have helped to reduce longstanding infectious disease disparities among American Indian/Alaska Native children. The final speaker provided an overall analysis of how immunization have served as a means of reducing health disparities and has thus helped create a path toward equity.
