A retrospective chart review and a six-month prospective outcome analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a vaccination education intervention and vaccination adherence among IBD patients at Weill-Cornell Medical Center. It is hypothesized that a general vaccination education campaign will improve vaccination adherence rates for all IBD patients. Secondarily, it is hypothesized that an Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccination intervention targeted at high-risk IBD patients will increase vaccination adherence among these patients.

A baseline educational intervention on vaccination and its role in the health maintenance of patients with IBD will be provided to all participants. Those on immunosuppressive therapies and/or those age 65 or older will also be offered the pneumonia vaccine educational intervention. Finally, patients aged 18-26 and those 27-45 who have never been vaccinated for HPV or those with high risk for HPV will additionally receive the HPV educational intervention.
