IMMUNIZATION OF CHILDREN: PERFORMING

Course overview

Immunization (also called vaccination) is a process by which a very small amount of a pathogenic agent is introduced into the body to enhance immunity to the disease caused by that agent. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of relevant research on the immunization of children, including why this is important and information to provide to the patient and their family. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
