• A National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases
  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Public Health Training Network Satellite Broadcast and Web cast.
• Provides 2.5 Free CE Credits

This live satellite broadcast/web cast was broadcast on July 30, 2009.  But you can take the self-paced programs for 2.5 free CE throughout the month of August on the CDC site listed below. The Web cast will provide up-to-date information on the rapidly changing field of immunization. Anticipated topics include influenza (including novel H1N1 AND seasonal influenza), rotavirus, vaccine safety and vaccine supply. One so-called "alternative" vaccine schedule and other emerging vaccine issues will also be discussed along with changes in contraindications for certain vaccines and new scheduling of dosages. There is an incredible amount of new knowledge...so get ready.
