About this app

Developer Description

PneumoRecs VaxAdvisor gives patient-specific pneumococcal vaccination guidance.

This is the PneumoRecs VaxAdvisor App created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in collaboration with the Georgia Tech Research Institute. PneumoRecs VaxAdvisor provides patient-specific pneumococcal vaccination guidance consistent with the pneumococcal vaccination recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Vaccination providers enter a patient’s age and respond to prompts about the patient’s pneumococcal vaccination history and underlying medical conditions. The app then displays patient-specific pneumococcal vaccination recommendations consistent with the recommended U.S. immunization schedule.

Optimized for tablet.

Only tried this a few times. I like the concept behind this. I would probably give 5 🌟 (stars) if not for 2 initial complaints: 1) too time consuming to enter in pt date of birth (recom to type in or select age - would be easier/faster than the DOB, especially scrolling to the birth year for elderly pts). 2) once pt 65+ yo, the risk factors are no longer applicable (as age itself is the risk for both PCV13 & PPSV23 for shared decision). Only previous vax history is applicable once 65+.

This app does not ask about asplenia, HIV, etc. Use the published chart instead. It took me a few searches to find the working link adult-medical-condition.html

This only is for an individual schedule. No ingredients nor proper display of risks. This is just a scheduler and does not navigate well. Practically useless. Whoever wrote for nurses is ignorant .
