Shots 2014 Immunization Schedules by STFM is for healthcare personnel providing vaccines or vaccine information.  In the November 28, 2013 ISMP Newsletter discussed the most common immunization errors which included “unfamiliarity with the vaccine, particularly its dose, dosing schedule, age specifications, route of administration, and the vaccine’s various components.”  This app can help reduce those prescribing errors by providing valuable information which includes the unified 2014 CDC childhood and adolescent schedule, the catch-up schedule, the adult schedule, and the adult medical indications schedule.  Each vaccine is covered in sections on the basics, special indications, catch-up, side effects, contraindications, precautions, and contents with additional sections on epidemiologic information about each disease.
