Summary
Pennsylvania Medicaid has updated its child and adolescent immunization schedule for 2024, adding new vaccines including RSV monoclonal antibody, updated COVID-19 vaccines, and Mpox vaccine while removing discontinued vaccines like PCV13 and bivalent COVID-19 vaccines. This affects billing and administration of immunizations for patients 18 years and younger enrolled in Pennsylvania Medical Assistance programs.
Action Required
Immediately: Review the attached 2024 CDC Immunization Schedule tables and update immunization protocols to follow the new recommendations. Remove discontinued vaccines (PCV13, DT, Menactra, bivalent COVID-19 vaccines) from ordering systems and add new vaccines (PCV20, RSV-mAb nirsevimab, Mpox Jynneos, updated COVID-19 vaccines). Update encounter forms and EMR templates to reflect the new immunization schedule for Pennsylvania Medicaid patients aged 18 and younger.
