First Shots, Best Shot: Childhood vaccines at work in Canada is a comprehensive presentation designed to support health care professionals who promote immunization in their communities.
The presentation will help:
- Improve health care professionals’ knowledge about the benefits of vaccines so that they can better communicate with parents and patients.
- Educate parents and caregivers in their communities about the health benefits and importance of complete childhood immunization.
- Demonstrate the public health effectiveness of vaccines—and, therefore, the need for public funding—to opinion leaders and policy makers.
