Live Training: Online & Classroom

I. Online Live Meetings - DoD Monthly Vaccine Webcast Series

Course Description
MILVAX is launching a new monthly series of webcasts on vaccines and vaccine-preventable diseases of military interest. Our goal is to provide an engaging series of live, on-line training events. Our presenters will include both military and civilian experts, speaking on topics of interest to the "Vaccine" community.

The presentation schedule will be available several months in advance, however registration for each monthly webcast will opened only after completion of the current months event.

The sessions will be approximately 45-60 minutes long, and consist of a 30-45 minute presentation, followed up by a question and answer segment. They will be streamed live to your computer desktop via Adobe Connect. The audio will be available only via VOIP.

Who should attend:
The primary audience for these presentations are those responsible for and involved in DoD vaccination programs; health care providers, vaccinators and clinic supervisors from immunization clinics, logisticians, preventive medicine specialists and those involved in local immunization policy development, hospital training departments and other healthcare staff interested in increasing their immunization knowledge.
