In the ever-evolving landscape of public health, one constant remains: the critical importance of influenza vaccination. This powerful tool continues to play a vital role in reducing outbreaks of endemic influenza infection, particularly among one of our most vulnerable populations – children.
As we approach the 2022-2023 influenza season, physicians and pharmacists find themselves at the forefront of the fight against the flu. Their role? Stay informed, confident, and ready to apply the latest recommendations for pediatric influenza immunization.
The Power of Knowledge: For Physicians
Physicians, as trusted caregivers and medical advisors, your role in preventing influenza among pediatric patients is paramount. Our course, “Evaluating Pediatric Influenza Vaccines in 2022–2023 — Providing Optimal Protection for the Pediatric Population,” is designed to amplify your knowledge and confidence in this area.
In addition to a comprehensive summary of the key National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) recommendations, the course offers an in-depth exploration of the currently marketed vaccines in Canada. You’ll gain insights into the unique benefits and potential drawbacks of each vaccine, helping you make informed decisions that best serve your young patients.
The course also delves into real-world case studies, offering a practical understanding of how to apply the NACI recommendations in various scenarios. You’ll also engage with peers and experts in the field, fostering a collaborative learning environment.

The Role of Pharmacists
Pharmacists, your role extends beyond the dispensing of medication. You are educators, advocates, and a critical point of contact for families navigating their health concerns – this makes your role in promoting and administering influenza vaccinations all the more crucial.
Our pharmacist-specific course, “Evaluating Pediatric Influenza Vaccines in 2022–2023 — Providing Optimal Protection for the Pediatric Population,” provides the same foundational knowledge shared with physicians, ensuring a unified approach across healthcare professionals.
But we also understand the unique challenges and opportunities you face. That’s why the course includes modules on effective patient communication strategies, addressing common vaccination concerns, and tips for managing your vaccine inventory efficiently.
Like the physicians’ course, you’ll explore real-world case studies and engage in discussions with peers and experts, enriching your learning experience.
By enhancing your knowledge and skills, you can ensure you’re not only dispensing medication but also invaluable advice, reassurance, and protection against influenza for your youngest patients.
