TDAP FOR INFANT CAREGIVER PROJECTFor All VFC Providers, Physicians and public health officials recommend pertussis (whooping cough) vaccination for all persons who have close contact with infants. Their recommendation comes from multiple studies demonstrating that infants are frequently infected by close contacts, particularly family members. The ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices) recently published 2011 Immunization Recommendations that reiterate this strategy for pertussis prevention. With this objective in mind, the Kansas Immunization Program will be offering Tdap vaccine to all interested VFC providers for the parent/caregiver of infant patients less than 12 months of age. Vaccine supplies for this project are limited and must be ordered prior to September 1, 2011.
