NORWALK, Conn., Sept. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM Medica US announces that PediatricsConsultantLive, a leading online community for pediatricians and health care professionals who treat pediatric patients, offers special coverage to help clinicians promote vaccination and to help make sure kids stay-up-to date with their vaccines.
The US government estimates that vaccination will save 322,000,000 children born after 1994 from vaccine-preventable infections, that 21,000,000 kids won't be hospitalized, and that 732,000 youngsters won't die from infection.
Some of the special coverage of vaccines on PediatricsConsultantLive includes:
- Vacation Vaccinations: Who Needs What and for Where? The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has just published its official recommendations for the 2014-2015 influenza season. How do the updated guidelines apply to this potential office situation?
- Opportunistic Vaccination: A Flu Shot For Big Sister, Too Since mom went to the hassle of bringing along the 4-year-old to her little brother's appointment, why not help make it worth the trip and get her up-to-date, too?
- Fluzone Administered: Does Baby Need More? Your answer to the question in this case will hinge on what you know about the influenza strains in the 2014-2015 vaccine vs. those in the 2013-2014 formulation.
