OVERVIEW

Vaccination is one of the most effective public health interventions in pediatric care, and staying up to date with the latest immunization schedules is critical for clinicians delivering care to infants and young children. This 1-hour CME/CE course—Part 1 of a two-part series—focuses on the 2024 recommended immunization schedule for pediatric patients from birth to 15 months of age.

Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the updated guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), including new additions, modifications from the 2023 schedule, and a thorough review of the catch-up immunization schedule. With a focus on vaccine timing, administration, and catch-up protocols, this course is designed to support pediatricians, family practitioners, nurses, and allied health professionals in delivering timely and effective immunizations. The course will also address clinical best practices, vaccine storage reminders, and considerations for high-risk pediatric populations.
