Dr. Rob Rodriguez, MD
Professor of Medicine
Associate Dean of Clinical & Population Health Research
University of California Riverside School of Medicine
Discusses his groundbreaking study examining vaccination screening in emergency departments across America. The research reveals a critical public health opportunity as 86% of ED patients aren't up-to-date on their vaccinations, yet nearly half would accept them if offered during their visit.
• Vaccination has saved more lives than any other public health intervention
• For 25-30% of Americans, emergency departments are their only healthcare access point
• Study conducted across 10 EDs in 8 cities focused on non-critically ill adult patients
• About half of patients were unaware of vaccines recommended for their age group
• Implementation could increase vaccination rates from 14% to potentially 48%
• Automating the screening process is the next step to avoid burdening ED staff
• Government funding for vaccines significantly increases uptake rates
• Recent political shifts have reduced emphasis and funding for vaccination research
