Register for the next Provider COVID-19 Town Hall on Thursday, December 3 from 6-7:30 p.m. MST: https://bit.ly/33eMy2D  Today on Charting Pediatrics, we will talk about what to expect from the public release of the COVID-19 vaccine, what it means for pediatrics and facts you can begin sharing with parents in your practice to arm them with knowledge and confidence in this vaccine. Major breakthroughs have developed since we last visited the topic of Operation Warp Speed and the race for a COVID-19 vaccine. Pfizer’s vaccine candidate has shown to be 95 percent effective and Moderna’s has been similar at 94.5 percent, rivaling some of the most potent vaccines that we have. With vaccine candidates showing robust immune response there is mounting anticipation for a vaccination that could bring an end to the pandemic. This news comes as community spread of the virus is raging and hospitalizations have surged across the United States.  Sean O’Leary, MD is our guest for this episode. Dr. O'Leary is an Infectious Disease physician at Children’s Colorado and Director of the Colorado Pediatric Practice-Based Research Network. Sean is also a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics and can regularly be found quoted in publications like the New York Times.

The CDC estimates that at least 30 percent of antibiotic prescriptions dispensed from the outpatient setting are unnecessary. Providers working in primary care are perhaps the most influential healthcare providers in addressing the issue of antibiotic resistance, as the inappropriate antibiotic prescribing practices remain high. In this episode Sarah Parker, MD and Nicole Poole, MD join us to discuss the use of antimicrobial stewardship programs and how they be implemented in primary care. Dr. Parker is the Medical Director of Children’s Antimicrobial Stewardship Program and Professor of Pediatrics and Infectious Diseases at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Dr. Poole is an Infectious Diseases Physician focused on Outpatient Antimicrobial Stewardship at Children’s Colorado and is Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Infectious Diseases at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

As the United States enters the eighth month of the pandemic surrounded by a backdrop of payer pressures, demands for virtual care and societal unrest, our healthcare system is challenged daily to navigate uncharted territory. From rapid scaling COVID-19 testing and safety operations to securing PPE from disrupted supply chains, and trying to assure patient families that it is safe to continue to come to clinics and hospitals for care…. Our pediatric healthcare landscape has forever been changed by COVID-19. And as COVID-19 cases are surging across the U.S. and parts of Europe, we are acutely reminded that end of the pandemic is not readily in sight.
