HPV: Don't Wait. Vaccinate! Project
|
The Indiana Immunization Coalition is sponsoring a new Part 4 Quality Improvement MOC Project for Indiana pediatricians entitled HPV: Don't Wait. Vaccinate!
An MOC is Maintenance of Certification designed by the American Board of Medical Specialities as a way to ensure a continuous cycle of lifelong learning for a physician's professional development.
A Part 4 Quality Improvement project is a diverse requirement which recognizes the efforts of pediatricians who imbed quality improvement into their day-to day practice of medicine.
Pediatricians who complete this project will be awarded 25 Part 4
points toward their MOC.

New Resource Materials Available from IIC
|
Due to such positive feedback from the current Tdap postcards, IIC has taken suggestions to produce a postcard that expectant mothers can address and mail themselves to friends and family members to remind them of all the vaccines that they may need to welcome in a new baby.
In addition, we now have an additional Tdap postcard targeted to adult (317) providers to reach individuals who may be able to receive the adult Tdap vaccine free-of-charge.
If you are interested in receiving some of one or both of these postcards, please email our Executive Director, Lisa Robertson, or Assistant, Emily Sirk, and we will get those to you as soon as we can.

New Influenza Billboards Available from IIC
|
Thanks to the work of our graphic artist, Stephanie Johnson, we now have billboard designs targeting influenza available to any local health department who wishes to purchase space to display them.

If you are interested, please take the specific billboard layout(s) you would like to display to the billboard company you are working with, and they will assist you with that side of the process
