When parents choose not to vaccinate: risks and responsibilities
This resource was adapted from If You Choose Not to Vaccinate Your Child, Understand the Risks and Responsibilities (World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe) and reviewed by the Canadian Paediatric Society's Infectious Diseases and Immunization Committee. It is a helpful Canadian version that healthcare providers can share with parents and caregivers.
Adult immunization: Communicating with patients
Immunizations are recommended through all stages of life, and are significant to promoting good health. Health care providers can help patients identify which vaccines they need to stay healthy. These slides, offered by Immunize Canada, are designed to assist health care providers when communicating with their adult patients.
Immunization as a tool to combat antimicrobial resistance
Vaccines and immunization programs can play a key role in addressing the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Not only do vaccines prevent infections, they can also prevent secondary opportunistic infections from AMR microbes, for example, bacterial pneumonia following influenza infections. The reduced need to treat these opportunistic infections would also mitigate the advance of AMR microbes in our communities.
Improving Adult Immunization: Information for health care providers
Under-immunization for vaccine-preventable diseases is common among Canadian adults. While immunizations are recommended through all stages of life, it is the responsibility of health care providers to inform patients about the vaccines they need to stay healthy and prevent infection. These slides offered by Immunize Canada are designed to assist health care providers to increase their knowledge on adult immunization. The information in this resource is based on recommendations from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) and the Canadian Immunization Guide (CIG).
L'immunisation comme outil pour lutter contre la résistance aux antimicrobiens
Les programmes de vaccination et d’immunisation peuvent jouer un rôle clé dans la gestion du défi croissant que constitue la résistance aux antimicrobiens. Non seulement les vaccins préviennent les infections, mais ils préviennent aussi les surinfections opportunistes causées par des microbes résistant aux antimicrobiens par exemple, la pneumonie bactérienne suivant des infections grippales. La diminution du besoin de traiter ces infections opportunistes empêcherait aussi l’évolution des microbes résistant aux antimicrobiens dans nos collectivités.
L'immunisation des adultes : Communiquer avec vos patients
Les vaccins sont recommandés à tous les stades de la vie. Un professionnel de soins de santé peut aider ses patients à déterminer de quels vaccins ils ont besoin pour rester en bonne santé. Ces diapositives offertes par Immunisation Canada sont conçues pour aider les professionnels de soins de santé avec la communication sur la vaccination de leurs patients adultes.
Les vaccins : avoir la piqûre pour la santé de votre enfant
Pour améliorer l'immunisation des adultes : Information à l'intention du personnel soignant
La sous-immunisation contre les maladies évitables par la vaccination est courante chez les adultes canadiens. Les vaccins sont recommandés à tous les stades de la vie, mais c'est au personnel soignant qu'il incombe d'indiquer aux patients ceux dont ils ont besoin pour rester en santé et prévenir les infections. Cette présentation est offerte par Immunisation Canada pour aider les fournisseurs de soins de santé a améliorer leurs connaissances sur l'immunisation des adultes. Les renseignements contenus dans cette présentation sont fondés sur les recommandations du Comité consultatif national de l'immunisation (CCNI) et du Guide canadien d'immunisation (GCI).
Reducing pain during vaccine injections: clinical practice guideline
Pain from vaccine injections is common, and concerns about pain contribute to vaccine hesitancy across the lifespan. Non-compliance with vaccination compromises the individual and community benefits of immunization by contributing to outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. Individuals may also engage in broader noncompliant behaviours if they acquire a fear of needles as a result of negative vaccination experiences. There are many evidence-based treatments to mitigate pain at the time of vaccination; however, most are not routinely used. The current guideline expands on and updates the 2010 guideline with recommendations across the lifespan. This enhanced scope led to a revised team name of HELPinKids&Adults. The intended audience is all health care providers who administer vaccine injections.
