Anthony W. Gannon, MD, a pediatric endocrinilogist at Nemours Children's in Wilmington, Delaware, sat down with Contemporary Pediatrics to discuss a poster presented at the 2022 Pediatric Academic Societies meeting that examined the impact of a quality improvement program on improving 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine uptake in 3 groups that are at high risk.
