Red Book Online Webinar: Hepatitis B
The Red Book Online has released a new webinar, “The mother tested negative for Hepatitis B Virus — so why does the newborn still need the vaccine at birth?” In this 10-minute video, Dr. Neelima Agrawal shares information that providers can use to navigate common questions from families. The video also offers practical tips on how to discuss vaccine safety and effectiveness.
The Vaccine Implementation Project
The Association of Immunization Managers’ (AIM’s) recently released Vaccine Implementation Project was launched to improve readiness for, and implementation of, new immunization products and changes to existing recommendations in the U.S. The project aims to strengthen communication, understanding, and collaboration across partners to improve the efficiency of new vaccine implementation. Available resources include:

- "Routine Vaccine Implementation Process Flowchart" that maps the process of vaccine implementation
- "Vaccine Implementation Playbook" that serves as a planning guide for immunization programs
