Immunization Delivery and Policy

Our group studies critical issues in child and adolescent immunization delivery and policy.

This includes studies involving:

• Vaccine-preventable diseases and diseases potentially preventable by new vaccines (e.g., rotavirus and norovirus vaccines)
• Influenza vaccination delivery (e.g., school-based flu vaccinations)
• HPV vaccination delivery
• Methods to improve influenza, HPV, and other adolescent immunization levels (e.g., reminder/recall, immunization registries, provider prompts, communication strategies)
• Vaccine financing
• Practice-based quality improvement initiatives

Our work has contributed to:

• The licensure of new vaccines like the rotavirus vaccine
• New vaccination recommendations such as universal influenza and adolescent vaccinations
• New vaccination financing
• Delivery mechanisms
• National immunization guidelines
