This continuing education program provides the pediatric healthcare professional with best practices for identifying, reducing, and managing vaccine-related liability exposures. By drawing on our professional liability closed claims data, we have identified common errors that reflect the most common issues associated with vaccine care and treatment in the pediatric population. In addition, this program will identify best practices for effective communication and management of vaccine hesitant patients/families and caretakers. Learners will respond to case-vignette based Q&A to test their comprehension of the concepts discussed.

Learning Outcome Statement: 80% of learners will demonstrate an increase in knowledge related to pediatric vaccine management by scoring 80% or higher on a post-test.

To obtain credit and a certificate of completion, learners must score 80% or higher on a post-test and complete a program evaluation.

Learning Objectives apply to all professions.
