Abstract:
We determined if a patient-self assessment/provider reminder tool (A/R) would increase administration of the eight vaccines that may be indicated for adults. In three family practice clinics, the A/R was completed by intervention patients and given to their provider. Control patients received an exercise reminder. On the day of the intervention, influenza, pneumococcal polysaccharide, and tetanus-diphtheria (Td) vaccines vaccine were administered significantly (P<0.01) more commonly to intervention patients in one clinic, Td in the second, and none in the third. There were no additional significant differences during one year of follow-up. A number of barriers to comprehensive vaccination were encountered.
