CDC and six other national organizations are collaborating with the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID), Emory University School of Medicine, and the Emory Vaccine Center to sponsor a Clinical Vaccinology Course November 5--7, 2010, at the Hyatt Regency Bethesda in Bethesda, Maryland. Through lectures and interactive case presentations, the course will focus on new developments and concerns related to the use of vaccines in pediatric, adolescent, and adult populations. Infectious disease experts, including pediatricians, internists, family physicians, and public health professionals, will present the latest information on newly available vaccines and vaccines under development as well as established vaccines whose continued administration is essential to improving disease prevention efforts.

This course is designed specifically for physicians, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists, vaccine program administrators, and other health-care professionals involved with or interested in the clinical use of vaccines. The course also will be of interest to health-care professionals involved in the prevention and control of infectious diseases, such as federal, state, and local public health officials. Course participants should have a knowledge of or interest in vaccines and vaccine-preventable diseases.

Continuing education credits will be offered.
