Overview:
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is often underestimated as a threat to adult health, yet it presents a significant risk—particularly for older adults and those with chronic conditions. In this dynamic CE podcast episode, Listen Up: Time to Prioritize RSV Vaccination for Adults, expert nurse practitioners Dr. Ruth Carrico and Dr. Audrey M. Stevenson engage in an in-depth discussion on the urgent need to recognize RSV as a serious adult disease and the critical role NPs play in preventing it.
Participants will gain actionable insights into current RSV vaccination recommendations, including the latest updates from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), and strategies for implementing age-based and risk-based vaccine guidance in practice. The episode also explores health disparities in RSV burden and vaccine access, equipping NPs to enhance outreach and patient education across diverse populations.
Whether you practice in primary care, public health, long-term care, or specialty settings, this episode provides practical tools for identifying high-risk patients, addressing vaccine hesitancy, and optimizing vaccination workflows within your practice. Learn how to tailor vaccine discussions using effective communication strategies like the Five A’s framework and the Three C’s of vaccine hesitancy.This activity is an Accredited AANP Podcast Activity.
