This Vaccine Education Center (VEC) webinar series is co-sponsored by the Pennsylvania chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Nesbitt School of Pharmacy at Wilkes University. The VEC is also grateful for the support of the Thomas F. McNair Scott Endowed Research and Lectureship Fund, which allows us to offer free continuing education credits for viewers.

Program changes reminder

As a reminder, VEC tear sheets, “Special Topics” sheets, and infographics will be made available via a print-on-demand model beginning in September. Each 8.5” x 11” sheet will be offered at the cost of 10 cents per sheet plus shipping. Items that include four pages, such as folded newsletters, will be offered at 20 cents per sheet plus shipping. Because items can be ordered in any quantity, you can order more titles at smaller quantities at a cost similar to previous tear pad options.
