As COVID Vaccine Trials Show Promising Results In Children, Make Sure Your Office Is Prepared For Vaccine Administration!

Pfizer’s recent announcement that its COVID-19 vaccine is safe and strongly protective in kids as young as 12 is a huge step forward in our goal to stop this pandemic. To read more about this latest development click here! With the possibility of vaccinating children and teens as early as this fall when they head back to school, we want to make sure our pediatrician’s offices are adequately prepared!

The Ohio AAP is now offering LIVE VIRTUAL versions of our in-office Maximizing Office-Based Immunizations (MOBI) and Teen Immunization Education Sessions (TIES). These enhanced trainings offer the same content as our traditional MOBI & TIES, but adds in COVID-19 information with a focus on provider and practice guidance during and post-pandemic. Our virtual MOBI & TIES include:

  • Guidance on continuing immunization best practices
  • Epidemiology & background of COVID-19
  • Practice operation guidance in a pandemic (i.e. telehealth)
  • 1-hour CME for each session 
  • Scheduling at your convenience
  • Free online office resources including:
    • CDC’s Pink Book
    • Vaccine Safety and Your Child booklet by Dr. Paul Offit
    • Postage paid reminder/recall postcard
    • Resource packets filled with essentials on immunization best practices

Please contact Lory Sheeran Winland, Director of Immunization Programs at lwinland@ohioaap.org to request a live virtual MOBI and/or TIES. Now is the perfect time to get your office prepared. These virtual options may only be available for a limited time so don’t delay in scheduling your virtual trainings!

Stay healthy!
