A2: Shedding Light on Hot Topics in Vaccine Safety | |||
| Many frequently discussed vaccine safety topics are often misunderstood by providers, patients, and parents. Misconceptions may be accentuated by media or political scrutiny. Presenters will present factual information about and discuss the vaccine injury compensation system, seizures occurring after vaccination, and the role of post-marketing surveillance in considering whether to expand vaccine recommendations. | |||
| Learning Objectives: Participants should be able to explain the purposes of VAERS and VICP and identify the strategies and limitations of each.
