PneumoRecs VaxAdvisor vs AHA Living Learning Network

This is the PneumoRecs VaxAdvisor App created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in collaboration with the Georgia Tech Research Institute. PneumoRecs VaxAdvisor provides patient-specific pneumococcal vaccination guidance consistent with the pneumococcal vaccination recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Vaccination providers enter a patient’s age and respond to prompts about the patient’s pneumococcal vaccination history and underlying medical conditions. The app then displays patient-specific pneumococcal vaccination recommendations consistent with the recommended U.S. immunization schedule.

Funded by the CDC, the American Hospital Association's Living Learning Network (LLN) is a forward-thinking virtual community of hospitals, health systems, state hospital associations, health departments and advocates of public health. Through vibrant, peer-to-peer sharing platforms such as message boards, email groups, video conferences and learning sessions, the LLN quickly identifies and shares the immediate needs and successful strategies occurring throughout the country.
