professionals about the importance of ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization
Practices) recommended vaccines, vaccine schedules and vaccine billing that are
critical in addressing vaccine preventable diseases in long-term care
residents. The presentation reviews the vaccine preventable diseases for which
there is an ACIP recommendation relevant to the long-term care setting and
addresses strategies to determine which long-term care residents need which

care setting.

Juanita Rettinghause
Jan. 30, 1950 – Jan. 17, 2023 - It is with sadness that we had to say goodbye to
a dear friend and San Diego Health Care Associate Board Member, Juanita Rettinghause.
Juanita spent her professional life as an advocate for the frail, elderly and
chronically ill in the long-term care profession. Her laughter and warm
presence will be missed by all that knew her.
