Immunization Education

According to the National Immunization Survey, only 66.4% of Ohio babies have received all of the immunizations recommended to keep them safe from many dangerous diseases. For teens, while 94.2% have received the Tdap vaccine and 91.9% have received the meningococcal serogroup ACWY vaccine, the rate for up-to-date with HPV is only 49.6% for both boys and girls.

General Information

The Ohio Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics’ immunization programs, Maximizing Office Based Immunization (MOBI) and Teen Immunization Education Sessions (TIES), combines more than 20 years of evidence-based science to educate physician offices on the best practices on immunizing their patients.

The MOBI and TIES programs are funded by the Ohio Department of Health through a federal grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The programs are one-hour, peer-to-peer education presentations that provide continuing medical education (CME) credits to physicians, nurses and medical assistants.

MOBI and TIES are provided at no cost to practices and provide several free resources including:

CDC’s Pink Book
Reminder/recall postcards
Resource packets filled with essentials on immunization best practices

History

The MOBI and TIES programs have impacted many lives since it began in 1996 with a federal grant. Twelve educational programs were presented in the first year. In 2014, the teen version of MOBI, called TIES, was created with 4 regional trainings. In 2015, TIES transitioned into in-office trainings and quality improvement strategies were added to both programs.

Today approximately 700 practices are reached each year impacting over 350,000 total patients.
