This session is focused on vaccinations among older adults and will include presentations on the current state of vaccinations, roadblocks to increasing vaccinations, and the opportunity geriatrics health professionals have to improve immunization rates. The presentations will be followed by a question-and-answer section. This session is an introduction to an AGS project to improve adult immunization rates for COVID-19, Influenza, and other routine adult vaccinations. The project, Improving Adult Immunization Rates for COVID19, Influenza, and Routine Adult Vaccinations through Partnerships and Medical Subspeciality Professional Societies, is a subaward under a Council of Medical Specialty Societies (CMSS) contract with the CDC. Learning Objectives: (1) describe the current state of vaccinations in older adults; (2) review the causes of vaccine hesitancy and what can be done to overcome them; and (3) discuss AGS’ vaccination project and how geriatrics health professionals can help improve immunization rates.

The American Geriatrics Society is in the process of updating the AGS Updated Beers Criteria® for Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use in Older Adults. The Beers Criteria® serve as a critical tool in in preventing adverse drug events in older adults and are an important tool for systems and individuals who seek to ensure high quality healthcare for older adults. Originally conceived of by the late Mark Beers, MD (a geriatrician), the Beers Criteria catalogue medications that place older patients at an elevated risk for adverse drug events due to the physiologic changes of aging and concurrent conditions. This program will present an overview of the updated 2022 criteria. Learning Objectives: (1) identify drugs to be avoided or used with caution in older adults; (2) describe the differences between the 2022 and the 2019 Beers Criteria; and (3) describe the application and intent of the Beers Criteria.
