NATIONAL INFLUENZA VACCINATION WEEK-JANUARY 10-16, 2010 IMPORTANT NOTICE "The CDC does NOT require any registration on the internet to receive a vaccine, and any e-mail suggesting it does is a fake that is looking for personal information that can be exploited illegally". The agency "warned against following unsolicited links or responding to unsolicited e-mails and cautioned against visiting websites that are unknown."
The Oklahoma Chapter is pleased to offer pediatricians an opportunity to save money on vaccines and supplies while also helping the Chapter improve the health and safety of children. The Oklahoma Chapter has signed an agreement with Amerinet, a national group purchasing organization (GPO). We are now able to offer our valued members access to vaccines and supplies at significantly lower prices through this agreement. Find out more here!
AAP Recognizes Child
Health Day 2009 The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) will honor and recognize Child Health Day this year by focusing on an issue close to its heart, and that of all the children, families and professionals it serves ~ the family-centered "medical home." The Academy will celebrate by increasing awareness and understanding of what a "medical home" is and why every child deserves one. The AAP has activities planned and materials available to celebrate why "Every Child Deserves a Medical Home." Help spread this important message by visiting the National Center for Medical Home Implementation Website at http://www.medicalhomeinfo.org/about/ChildHealthDay2009.html where you will find downloadable materials for parents, providers and others plus other useful information. Child Health Day Activities are being coordinated jointly by the Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the National Center for Medical Home Implementation, a program of the American Academy of Pediatrics funded by a cooperative agreement with HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau. Red Book Member Choice One of the most valuable benefits of American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) membership - the new 28th edition of Red Book: 2009 Report of the Committee on Infectious Diseases - will now be provided to you in your choice of format (print, online, or mobile/PDA).
