"Massachusetts Responds:
A Vaccinator Training"
DPH Vaccinator Training Course

An online educational tool and CME activity
Sponsored by Massachusetts Medical Society and
Massachusetts Department of Public Health's Bureau
of Infectious Disease Prevention,
Response and Services

The course is based upon DPH's training sessions
presented across the state. The format is a 3-module
program including all the slides and resource materials
in the areas of: 1) definition of influenza types,
2) the principles of vaccine management,
3) a description of vaccine preparation and
administration techniques.

Resource materials include all of the handouts,
templates and forms utilized in the live sessions.

The goal is to expand the reach of DPH's vaccinator
training to those health professionals who may not
have been able to attend one of the live sessions

The course is now live. The URL is
www.massmed.org/cme/dphtraining
Please feel free to download all presentations and
materials for use with your staff, local MRC etc.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
