TITLE: Influenza (Flu) / Pneumococcal Vaccine Administration PURPOSE: To outline the nursing responsibilities in the management of patients assessed or

requesting annual Influenza (Flu) / Pneumoccocal vaccine immunization. LEVEL: Independent. This protocol is a Board of Registered Nursing Standardized Procedure and

may be initiated without a physician order. SUPPORTIVE DATA: This protocol is performed by Registered Nurses (RNs) working in, but not limited to, the

Ambulatory and Community Health Clinics (ACHS), and acute care settings in Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (SCVMC), who have been authorized through evaluation and approved in writing to initiate/ perform this protocol. No direct supervision of the RN is required.

The Standard of Care in our community is to offer the influenza vaccine to whomever requests vaccination (subject to vaccine availability). Optimal timing for vaccination is October- November. The vaccine should not be given too early in the season because antibody titers may begin to decline before the flu season. The 2012 - 2013 vaccine is a combination to provide protection against H1N1, H3N2, and influenza B viruses, This years vaccine virus used for H1N1 was not changed, and it was recommended the H3N2 and B vaccine viruses be changed from those in the 2011 – 2012 vaccine.

Influenza vaccine may be given to both children and adults when available and throughout the flu season: typically between October 1

st – March 31

st, and may be given early when

available from the manufacture.

The American Academy of Pediatrics states that influenza vaccine can be administered simultaneously (but at a different site and with a different syringe) with other routine, vaccinations in children.

Children aged 6 months--8 years who did not receive 2 or more doses of seasonal vaccine

since July 1, 2010 or uncertain if ever received seasonal influenza vaccine, should receive 2 doses of the 2012 – 2013 seasonal influenza vaccine. These 2 doses should be given at least 4 weeks apart. . (see Attachment A).

A new intradermal vaccine Fluzone Intradermal, TIV preparation, was licensed in May 2011 as an alternative for persons 18 – 64 years of age. It contains less antigen than the intramuscular TIV preparation and the deltoid is the preferred site for injection. Common adverse reactions include: injection site erythema, induration, swelling, pain and Pruritus Fluzone High-Dose (Sanofi Pasteur) is available for persons 65 years of age and older. This contains a higher level of antigen than other preparations. LAIV (live attenuated influenza vaccine), FluMist is indicated for healthy, nonpregnant persons aged 2 through 49 years of age specified in the package insert. There is no preference in administering LAIV versus TIV in this age group.

NOTE: The influenza vaccine is considered safe in pregnant patients. Vaccinations should not be postponed, regardless of stage of pregnancy, in patients who have high risk conditions and who will be in the first trimester of pregnancy when flu season begins.

H. PATIENT EDUCATION/FOLLOW-UP:

1. Advise patient about risks of vaccination as compared with risk of influenza and its complications.

2. Ensure that patient understands that annual vaccination with the latest vaccine is necessary, because immunity to influenza decreases in the year after injection, and vaccination against the current yearly strain is required.

3. Inform patient that the vaccine cannot cause influenza, but that fever, malaise, and myalgia may

begin 6-12 hours after vaccination and last 1 to 2 days. Such systemic reactions are not common. 4. Instruct patient to take acetaminophen, as appropriate for age, for fever and apply ice compresses

to injection site to minimize discomfort. I. DOCUMENTATION:

ATTACHMENT A Recommendations for routine use of vaccines in children and adolescents are issued by CDC and are harmonized to the greatest extent possible with recommendations made by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG). CDC recommendations for routine use of vaccines in adults are harmonized to the greatest extent possible with recommendations made by AAFP, ACOG, and the American College of Physicians. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is chartered as a federal advisory committee to provide expert external advice and guidance to the Director of CDC on use of vaccines in the civilian population of the United States. ACIP members are named by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. ACIP recommendations become CDC policy once approved by the Director of CDC, on the date published by MMWR.

FIGURE 1. Influenza vaccine dosing algorithm for aged children 6 months through 8 years — Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, United States, 2012–13 influenza season

* Doses should be administered at least 4 weeks apart.

† For simplicity, this algorithm takes into consideration only doses of seasonal influenza vaccine received since July 1, 2010. As an alternative approach in settings where vaccination history from before July 1, 2010, is available, if a child aged 6 months through 8 years is known to have received at least 2 seasonal influenza vaccines during any previous season, and at least 1 dose of a 2009(H1N1)-containing vaccine (i.e., either 2010–11 or 2011–12 seasonal vaccine or the monovalent 2009[H1N1] vaccine), then the child needs only 1 dose for 2012–13. Using this approach, children aged 6 months through 8 years need only 1 dose of vaccine in 2012–13 if they have received any of the following: 1) 2 or more doses of seasonal influenza vaccine since July 1, 2010; 2) 2 or more doses of seasonal influenza vaccine before July 1, 2010, and 1 or more doses of monovalent 2009(H1N1) vaccine; or 3) 1 or more doses of seasonal influenza vaccine before July 1, 2010, and 1 or more doses of seasonal influenza vaccine since July 1, 2010. Children for whom one of these conditions is not met require 2 doses in 2012–2013.

Alternate Text: The figure above shows influenza vaccine dosing algorithm for aged children 6 months through 8 years in the United States, during the 2012-13 influenza season. Children are recommended to receive 2 doses this season, even if 2 doses of seasonal influenza vaccine were received before the 2010-11 season. This is illustrated in two approaches for determining the number of doses required for children aged 6 months through 8 years, both of which are acceptable.

Abbreviations: TIV = trivalent inactivated vaccine; LAIV = live-attenuated influenza vaccine; IM = intramuscular; ID = intradermal; IN = intranasal.

* Vaccination providers should consult Food and Drug Administration–approved prescribing information for 2012–13 influenza vaccines for the most updated information, including indications, contraindications, and precautions.

† Data on maximum ovalbumin content is supplied in package inserts of certain vaccines. Persons with a history of mild allergy to egg (specifically, those who experience only hives) should receive TIV with additional precautions (Figure 2).

§ Information is not included in package insert but is available upon request from the manufacturer, Sanofi Pasteur, by contacting 1-800-822-2463 or [email protected].

¶ Figure 1 describes two approaches for determining the number of doses needed for children aged 6 months through 8 years.

** For adults and older children, the recommended site of vaccination is the deltoid muscle. The preferred site for infants and young children is the anterolateral aspect of the thigh.

†† Age indication per package insert is ≥5 years; however, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends that Afluria not be used in children aged 6 months through 8 years because of increased risk for febrile reactions noted in this age group with CSL's 2010 Southern Hemisphere TIV. If no other age-appropriate, licensed inactivated seasonal influenza vaccine is available for a child aged 5 through 8 years who has a medical condition that increases the child's risk for influenza complications, Afluria can be used; however, vaccination providers should discuss with the parents or caregivers the benefits and risks of influenza vaccination with Afluria before administering this vaccine. Afluria may be used in persons aged ≥9 years.

§§ A 0.5-mL dose contains 60 µg of each vaccine antigen (180 µg total).

¶¶ A 0.1-mL dose contains 9 µg of each vaccine antigen (27 µg total).

*** A new quadrivalent formulation of FluMist was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in February 2012. It is anticipated that this formulation will replace the currently available seasonal trivalent LAIV formulation for the 2013–14 season. FluMist is shipped refrigerated and stored in the refrigerator at 35°F–46°F (2°C–8°C) after arrival in the vaccination clinic. The dose is 0.2 mL divided equally between each nostril. Health-care providers should consult the medical record, when available, to identify children aged 2 through 4 years with asthma or recurrent wheezing that might indicate asthma. In addition, to identify children who might be at greater risk for asthma and possibly at increased risk for wheezing after receiving LAIV, parents or caregivers of children aged 2 through 4 years should be asked, "In the past 12 months, has a health-care provider ever told you that your child had wheezing or asthma?" Children whose parents or caregivers answer "yes" to this question and children who have asthma or who had a wheezing episode noted in the medical record within the past 12 months should not receive FluMist.

††† Insufficient data available for use of LAIV in egg-allergic persons.

§§§ Flumist is indicated for healthy, nonpregnant persons aged 2 through 49 years. Persons who care for severely immunosuppressed persons who require a protective environment should not receive FluMist given the theoretical risk for transmission of the live-attenuated vaccine virus.
