Join us for Immunization Strategies: Using the Evidence and What Works to Improve Practice​, which will air online on August 22nd, 2012 at 2pm EDT. This program is the first from Public Health Works, a new training series for public health professionals that focuses on the use of evidenced-based strategies outlined in the Guide to Community Preventive Services (Community Guide). This series will benefit State, Tribal, Local, And Territorial health department staff, health care personnel, and other public health professionals by demonstrating how quality improvement techniques and evidence-based recommendations are being used to improve immunization rates in communities across the nation.

 

After viewing the program, you will be able to:

  • Describe how a local health department uses The Task Force's findings in the Community Guide to save resources and improve health outcomes.
  • Describe the challenges to improving immunization rates in a community setting.
  • Identify two evidence-based strategies to increase immunizations.

This training is so timely and offers additional incentive for community health workers to encourage participation in vaccination continuity. Quantification, qualification and evidence based inquiry and response were addressed more specifically for disenfranchised, low income populations by creating mobile immunization measures when partnered with school presence and in alleviating transportation issues of patients, parents and children.
