NACOP Webinar – Immunization Strategy: Unwavering Commitment to Quality amid Threats to Public Health
Current threats to public health require a high level of organizational and individual commitment to quality. Over the past year, the American Academy of Pediatrics has led multiple initiatives to support high-quality care that promotes child, community, and public health through evidence-based guidance and access to immunizations. In this presentation, Dr. Nita Mohanty who leads the AAP’s infectious disease and immunization portfolio, will discuss the immunization initiatives that address multiple domains of quality.
