Principals of catch-up immunisation (part 1)
Facilitator: Eva James, Population Health Lead, Health North Coast
Presenter: Carolyn Lloyd, Immunisation Coordinator, North Coast Public Health Unit
Our Q&A panel will also be joined by John Turahui, Immunisation Coordinator, North Coast Public Health Unit.
Over the next two months, we are bringing you a two-part series on catch-up immunisation.
Catch-up immunisation aims to provide optimal protection against disease as quickly as possible by completing a person’s recommended vaccination schedule in the shortest but most effective time frame. This includes assessing a patient’s vaccination history, applying the principals of catch-up immunisation and giving the appropriate vaccines.
Join us this month where we will guide you through a case study for childhood catch-up immunisation.
As a result of attending this webinar you will be able to:
- Plan a catch-up immunisation schedule for a child under 10 years old
- Identify and locate resources for catch-up immunisation
Next month, we’ll take a look at catch-up immunisation for adolescents and adults, and discuss serological testing.
