    AAMC/CDC webinar on preventing disease through immunization<o:p></o:p>

    For the first time ever, immunizations are available this fall and winter in the United States that can help protect against three major respiratory diseases: COVID-19, flu, and RSV. Immunization against these viruses remains the best protection for reducing the risk of serious illness, hospitalizations, long-term health impacts, and death. Health care personnel have key roles in promoting vaccination and creating a culture of immunization within their practices and institutions. On Nov. 15 at 3:30 p.m. ET, the AAMC is collaborating with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for a webinar with Demetre Daskalakis, MD, MPH, acting director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases and Jonathan Jaffery, MD, AAMC chief health care officer to discuss the latest recommendations for these three new vaccines. The discussion will also cover how physicians, health care leaders, and other clinicians can engage their patients, improve vaccine access, and keep our communities safer during the fall and winter season.<o:p></o:p>
