This is Your Shot: Be a Vaccine Champion to your Patients with Diabetes!

Learn about AACE's 4-year Effort to Improve Vaccine Coverage for Adults with Diabetes.

AACE supports the recommendations of the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) that all persons with diabetes mellitus receive age-appropriate vaccinations according to the CDC/ACIP schedule. AACE also recommends endocrinologists learn about and implement the CDC’s Standards for Adult Immunization Practice, which describes a four-step process to improve vaccination rates.

AACE is part of a consortium of medical specialty societies funded through CDC and supported by CMSS to provide vaccination resources to healthcare providers who treat adults with diabetes, including practice tools, resources, learning opportunities, clinical practice guidance, and quality improvement initiatives.

Using the CDC’s Standards and AACE’s Vaccine Tools, endocrinologists can be vaccine champions to patients with diabetes.
