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).

- Describe the challenges to improving immunization rates in a community setting.
