From 2002-2005, Dr. Boom served as the principal investigator for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) grant “Raising Immunizations Thru Education” (RITE), which analyzed the impact of an in-office, peer-based education program to improve immunization behaviors and immunization coverage levels. Dr. Boom led the development, implementation and expansion of the Houston-Harris County Immunization Registry from 2001-2008. In addition, she has led projects examining the time costs associated with obtaining immunization registry consent and the financial effects of an immunization reminder/recall initiative on the general pediatric practice. Dr. Boom has six years of experience at Texas Children’s Hospital leading a gastroenteritis surveillance program funded by the CDC New Vaccine Surveillance Program (NVSN) that has evaluated the effectiveness of the rotavirus vaccine and has recently expanded surveillance activities to include dengue, chikungunya, and West Nile virus. In collaboration with Dr. Carol Baker and Rachel Cunningham, Dr. Boom co-authored the booklet, “Vaccine Preventable Diseases: The Forgotten Story.” To date, over 125,000 copies have been distributed. Dr. Boom is currently collaborating on other projects examining vaccine hesitancy in the greater Houston area.
