Proactive practices are reaching out to their patients coming home soon from college, taking advantage of the holiday break as an ideal time to get these patients in for some needed immunizations. Although many student health departments do carry influenza vaccine, they do not necessarily provide some of the others this age group may be lacking i.e. the two different meningitis vaccines Men B & Men ACWY, HPV9, or Tdap etc…. By utilizing EHRs with Patient communication programs like Solution Reach, an MPPG vendor, these practices are taking the initiative to use texts, e-mails and phone calls to schedule appointments with these patients. Medical offices needing special discounted prices from the vaccine manufacturers may join MPPG at no charge and access contracts with Merck, Sanofi Pasteur and Pfizer.
