Staff of the
Immunization Action Coalition (IAC) have been hard at work
creating new immunization resources and updating existing
downloadable, free materials for healthcare professionals' use.
Laminated U.S. immunization schedules
IAC’s laminated 2018 U.S. immunization schedules one for
children/teens and one for adults are now available for
purchase. These helpful tools are covered with a
tough, washable coating and will stand up to a year's worth of use
in every area of your healthcare setting. Both schedules are eight
pages (i.e., four double-sided pages)
and are folded to measure 8.5" x 11”.
Free, ready-to-download educational materials for staff and your
patients
Recently, CDC’s vaccination recommendations for zoster (shingles),
MMR, and hepatitis B vaccines changed, and IAC’s materials for
healthcare professionals and
patients have been updated accordingly. IAC’s materials are
CDC-reviewed, free to download, and ready-to-use. Here are links
to some of IAC’s recently updated
pieces:
