CDC and six other national organizations are collaborating with the National

Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID), Emory University School of Medicine,

and the Emory Vaccine Center to sponsor a Clinical Vaccinology Course November

5--7, 2010, at the Hyatt Regency Bethesda in Bethesda, land. Through

lectures and interactive case presentations, the course will focus on new

developments and concerns related to the use of vaccines in pediatric,

adolescent, and adult populations. Infectious disease experts, including

pediatricians, internists, family physicians, and public health professionals,

will present the latest information on newly available vaccines and vaccines

under development as well as established vaccines whose continued administration

is essential to improving disease prevention efforts.

This course is designed specifically for physicians, nurses, physician

assistants, pharmacists, vaccine program administrators, and other health-care

professionals involved with or interested in the clinical use of vaccines. The

course also will be of interest to health-care professionals involved in the

prevention and control of infectious diseases, such as federal, state, and local

public health officials. Course participants should have a knowledge of or

interest in vaccines and vaccine-preventable diseases.

Continuing education credits will be offered. Information regarding the

preliminary program, registration, and hotel accommodations is available online
