CCIC members and providers know that immunizations are key to preventing vaccine-preventable diseases, but can you explain the concepts behind how immunity and vaccines work?

This provider education presentation will address:

• Innate and adaptive immunity
• Passive and active immunity
• Antigens and the capacity of the immune system
• Case studies of the immune response to four different vaccines
• A review of herd immunity
• The efficacy of vaccination compared to the risks of non-vaccination

Whether you are new to immunology or just need a refresher, Vaccines and the Immune Response will convey concepts to help better address the importance of immunizations with providers, patients and parents.
