Forum: CDC Influenza Call-in Event

Dear Healthcare Professionals:

On Monday November 13, 2006 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced the designation of the week after Thanksgiving as the 2006 National Influenza Vaccination Week (NIVW). This year, NIVW will run from November 27 to December 3.

As part of the activities of this first NIVW, the National Immunization Program will host an influenza conference call on November 30, 2006 from 2:00 to 2:45 PM Eastern Time. The call will provide you with an update on strategies for extending the vaccination season. As on past calls, a short presentation of key influenza information will be given with time for your questions.

Callers are advised to begin dialing in 15 minutes in advance of the calls as these will be operated assisted calls. After the presentations are completed, operators will open the lines to take questions from callers.

Dial-In Information: 1- 888–322–1985

Passcode: 2161049

For more information about the call, please visit: http://www.cdc.gov/nip/ed/ciinc/calls/. Please note: this website will be updated with additional information, and slides for the call, two days prior to the call. If you have any questions, feel free to contact nipinfo@cdc.gov.

Thank you very much!

CDC’s National Immunization Program
