ID Board Review/Vaccinations

Vaccinations account for only 4% of the ABIM ID Certification test. Based on the Blueprint, it appears the primary learning point will be which vaccinations are active, and which are passive, and likely which patients can/should get each vaccination. There is not a specific topic outlined for adverse effects like there is in Antimicrobial Therapies, HIV Treatment Regimens, or Antifungal Therapies.[1]
