PneumoRecs VaxAdvisor Mobile App for Vaccine Providers
The PneumoRecs VaxAdvisor Mobile App was updated on February 9, 2023, to reflect CDC’s new adult pneumococcal vaccination recommendations including for those who previously received PCV13.
PneumoRecs VaxAdvisor is available for download on iOS and Android mobile devices.
The PneumoRecs VaxAdvisor mobile app helps vaccination providers quickly and easily determine which pneumococcal vaccines a patient needs and when. The app incorporates recommendations for all ages so internists, family physicians, pediatricians, and pharmacists alike will find the tool beneficial.
Users simply:
- Enter a patient’s age.
- Note if the patient has specific underlying medical conditions.
- Answer questions about the patient’s pneumococcal vaccination history.
Then the app provides patient-specific guidance consistent with the immunization schedule recommended by the U.S. Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
Download the mobile app or use the web version
If you do not have a device that supports the app, you can access a web version when connected to the internet through a mobile device or computer. If you use the web version of “PneumoRecs VaxAdvisor,” we recommend adjusting the screen size to look like a smartphone for a better user experience.
Updates: CDC will release guideline changes and enhancements to the app itself through app updates.
