Program Overview
This webinar will promote school-located vaccination (SLV) as a measure to improve and maintain a safe and healthy environment for students and the community. With many students behind on routine vaccinations and the COVID-19 vaccines anticipated approval for children under the age of 12 pending, SLV is a means to maintain a safe school environment. A brief overview of the AIM/NASN E-scan and Roundtable documents will be shared, and a state immunization director, school nurse leader, and school leader will provide insight on how their role champions SLV’s and the importance of their role to the success of SLV’s.
