Relationship between Ro and population immunity
Immunity and correlates of protection • Antibodies against spike protein most likely to be protective • Most serological test measuring Ab to spike protein or N protein • Different sensitivities and specificities depending on test

At least 80 million children under one at risk of diseases such as diphtheria, measles and polio as COVID-19 disrupts routine vaccination efforts, warn Gavi, WHO and UNICEF
• VPD surveillance should be maintained and reinforced • Design strategies for catch-up vaccination for the period post COVID-19 outbreak and make plans which anticipate a gradual recovery • Suspend and reconsider mass vaccination campaigns (risk-benefit) • Influenza vaccination of health workers, older adults, and pregnant women is advised.
Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Routine Pediatric Vaccine Ordering and Administration — United States, 2020 • Substantial reduction in VFC- funded pediatric vaccine ordering after the COVID-19 emergency declaration • Smaller decline in measles- containing vaccine administration among children aged ≤24 months MMWR May 15, 2020 / 69(19);591–593

Summary • Immunizations are an essential public health strategy that is being impacted by COVID-19 • Expected increase in the number of susceptible likely to result in higher incidence of rotavirus disease in the winter of 2020 - 21, outbreaks of pertussis and resurgence of polio worldwide. • Catch-up immunization will be challenging and require innovative ways of doing home-based immunization while tracing COVID-19 contacts

PRIMARY CARE DURING COVID-19 Continuing to provide necessary well child care and immunizations safely June 10, 2020 Dr. Shen Nagel
Parental fears Office staff safety issues Stay-at-home orders Pediatric care in larger systems (KP, DHMC) had to be adjusted or curtailed to conserve resources for adult care INITIAL BARRIERS
50% or more drop in patient volumes (our practice) 50% decrease in IZs given in first month of COVID Managed to get 80% of IZs in <2yo Michigan data showed declining IZ rates <50% children <2yo were UTD (MMWR 69(20), May 22, 2020) INITIAL IMPACT
Separate offices for WCC and sick (if available) Segregate well and sick by time Clean and dirty sides of offices Keep “clean” office by using telemed for all sick Initially few practices/systems seeing WCC >2; some even more drastic ? Telemed for well care—still need to bring in separately for IZs NEW WORKFLOWS
Increased recall efforts for lapsed IZs, well care EHR messaging Practice website, social media GETTING PATIENTS IN
Communications from practices—flyers re safety of office Local/State/National guidance from CDPHE, AAP, etc PUBLICIZING THE NEW NORMAL
