NEW MESSAGE FROM COMMITTEE CHAIR: (posted Jan 25, 2010)

Dear Colleagues:

With the new year come new materials to help providers educate themselves and others about immunization.  Here are 3 you might consider looking at:

  1. The Immunization Action Coalition has just published a new issue of Needle Tips, an online publication that contains updates on vaccines your patients should receive, how they should be administered, precautions for special populations, and much more.  Every issue is CDC-reviewed and will bring your knowledge current on this important element of preventive medicine.  Needle Tips is available at http://www.immunize.org/nt.  You can sign up to be notified when new issues are released, and can also subscribe (for free) to other Immunization Action Coalition publications when you visit http://wwwimmunize.org/subscribe.

  2. Another new resource from the AAP is specifically designed for residents and young physicians, called ImmuneWise.  It’s a campaign designed to help providers educate parents about immunizations.  The information has been provided to residents attending the AAP NCE as a CD, but is now available online at http://www.aap.org/sections/ypn/r/advocacy/
    The site includes downloadable powerpoint presentations that can be used for morning reports & noon conferences.

  3. Finally, a new resource is TIDE - Teaching Immunization Delivery and Evaluation. The site is directed at residents and serves as an immunization curriculum. Go to: http://www2.edserv.musc.edu/tide/menu.lasso
