Course Description

Health and Safety, Vaccines

This live webinar will consider vaccination as one of the most effective public health approaches for protection of both the general population and health care professionals.   The most recent recommendations for vaccine-preventable infectious diseases, including influenza, COVID-19, pneumococcal pneumonia, shingles, human papilloma viruses (HPV), and pertussis (i.e., whooping cough). Important information also will be included describing unfortunate widespread efforts to misrepresent vaccine success and promote myths which damage control against vaccine-preventable diseases. Measles will be used as an important disease example of this emerging public health threat. 

A major portion of this presentation will discuss appropriate scientific and clinical evidence for available vaccines and emerging technologies, to provide participants useful information when considering:
1. their own protection;
2. protection of the general public; and
3. vaccine requirements for individuals diagnosed with immune compromising conditions and diseases. 

“The educational teaching methodology used in this course is live, interactive lecture presented via Zoom webinar with an accompanying PowerPoint presentation. Both the live webinar and the PowerPoint presentation incorporate a variety of audio and visual cues to enhance audience members’ understanding and retention of key concepts. In addition, question and answer periods are provided for at the conclusion of each section of the live webinar.”

Course Objectives

At the completion of this course the participants should be able to:

  1. Comprehend the overall impact vaccinations have had in protecting the population against many infectious diseases.
  2. Understand the most recent updated information concerning COVID-19 vaccine booster recommendations.
  3. Discuss the latest CDC vaccine recommendations for health care professionals.
  4. Understand the rationale for other important representative vaccination recommendations, including shingles and human papilloma virus infections.
  5. Describe the dangers of public misperceptions against vaccines.
