The Comprehensive Vaccine Education Program - From Training to Practice is a combined educational offering to help combat vaccine misinformation and address vaccine hesitancy in two ways.
- Enhancing vaccine knowledge and confidence in having discussions with patients and parents through a web-based education curriculum (CoVER)
- Enhancing access for medical providers to reliable, up-to-date and accurate vaccine information through The Vaccine Handbook: A Practical Guide for Clinicians, also known as The Purple Book. Everyone from physicians and advanced practice providers on the front lines to trainees, nurses, and pharmacists, as well as the patients and parents of patients who receive them, will find value in this resource.
