Increasing Adult Vaccination Rates What Works
 

WhatWorks is a program that can be used:

  • As a reference about adult immunization
  • Or as a course with continuing education credit

The primary purpose of WhatWorks is to increase your knowledge about strategies that increase vaccination rates in a setting similar to one in which you work.

The “Strategies” section challenges you to work through a case study in a setting similar to the one you work in and study the strategies that are proven to work in different situations. Background information about recommended strategies is provided in Strategies List.

Test Your Vaccination Knowledge and EPI Facts allow you to test yourself. See how well you do! If you don’t know something, answers are provided.

References, Resources, and FAQs are there as a reference for you. Any time you have questions, you can log onto the site for information.

Updates allow you to sign up for automatic email notifications when new information is available.

WhatWorks is a program for you to use time and again. Come back to the site as you need to.
