Back-to-School
Showcase:
Resources
to Help You Become an HPV Champion
Wednesday, June 27, 2018
10:00 am - 11:00 am Pacific / 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm Eastern
Summer is known as the unofficial "vaccination
season," the period of the year when school-age children are receiving the
vaccines they need before they start school in the fall. This webinar will
feature upcoming summer and back-to-school HPV vaccination campaigns and
resources to help health care professionals take advantage of the
back-to-school timeframe to boost their HPV vaccination rates.
First, CDC's Ian Branam will discuss their new HPV campaign for
clinicians and consumers, as well as new and updated resources health care
professionals can use this back-to-school season. Next, Jennifer Sienko from
the National HPV Vaccination Roundtable will share their summer 2018
"Power to Prevent" campaign, which includes brand-new resources for
all health care professionals who play a role in HPV cancer prevention and a
comprehensive communications toolkit.
National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM) is also right
around the corner. To help you promote HPV vaccination during this summer and
throughout the month of August, NPHIC will present updates to its NIAM
communication toolkits as well as plans for the month of August.
Finally, it's time to kick off the 2018 HPV Vaccine is Cancer
Prevention Champion Award, an annual award to recognize health care
professionals who are going above and beyond to foster HPV vaccination in their
communities. Last year's Champions came from the 10 HHS regions in the U.S. -
this year, the award has been expanded to recognize up to one Champion from
each of the 50 U.S. states, 8 U.S. Territories and Freely Associated States,
and the District of Columbia. Learn more about the timeline, criteria and
nomination process, which will run throughout the summer, and nominate a
champion in your community.
