CDC’s Immunization Safety Office is pleased to offer a free online continuing education (CME and CE) activity on Medscape titled, “Real Talk About Influenza Vaccine Safety – Be Informed and Be Prepared.” The CME/CE features a roundtable discussion with three vaccine safety and influenza prevention experts. The course is intended for clinicians who routinely administer influenza vaccines and who evaluate and treat patients experiencing adverse events following influenza immunization. Healthcare providers interested in this course may include physicians, nurses, physicians assistants, and nurse practitioners in family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics/gynecology.
