Adult Immunization Resource Center

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) awarded a cooperative agreement to the Council of Medical Specialty Societies (CMSS) to improve vaccination among high-risk adults. This five-year quality improvement initiative is focused on increasing immunization rates for high-risk adults with chronic medical conditions.

CMSS has partnered with seven specialty societies to align society education, policy, and guidelines to national immunization standards and to test strategies for increasing vaccination for high-risk patients through partnerships with 45 health systems around the country.
