Free lunchtime webcast:

Shots for School: Clinicians' Role in CA New Tdap Requirement

 

Free live Webcast hosted by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and University of California Television (UC-TV).  CME Provided by UC Davis Office of Continuing Medical Education. 

 

Preregister for CME Credit

 

A new California state law requires all 7th to 12th graders to receive a Tdap immunization before school starts this Fall. By immunizing adolescents with Tdap now, clinicians can protect them against the ongoing threat of pertussis while meeting the upcoming legal requirement and reducing the back-to-school rush.

 

February 15, 2011

12 pm- 1pm

Speaker:

Robert Schechter, MD

Section Chief at the CDPH Immunization Branch

 

Recommended for physicians and allied health care personnel in clinical practice, particularly pediatricians and family practice physicians, physician's assistants, nurses, and medical assistants, community clinic staff, and immunizing pharmacists.

 

This seminar will cover:

1.       A summary of pertussis disease and pertussis vaccines 

 2.    What you need to know about the new law (AB 354)

  

After the live broadcast/webcast, the program will be archived online for on-demand viewing.

 

CME will be provided by UC Davis Office of CME for those participating in the live program and for those who view the program after it is archived on UCTV. This education activity is eligible for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)TM. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. This credit may also be applied to the CMA Certification in Continuing Medical Education.

Preregistration is required for CME.
