Influenza Teleclass Will be Held Sept. 11
BELLEVILLE, Ontario, Canada -- Webber Training, producer of infection control-related teleclasses, will offer the following courses in September:
The Sept. 11, 2003 teleclass "Influenza, Getting the Staff Immunized," led by Dr. Jill Jacobson of Queen's University, will explore the best ways to communicate the importance of immunization and how to go about getting it done. A special resource package will be included with this teleclass.
On Sept. 18, 2003, Dr. Carolyn Bridges of the CDC will present "Transmission of Influenza and Infection Control Strategies." This title has been revised from the original "Strategies for the Community and High Risk Groups." If you registered for the original title, you are still registered.
The teleclass "Influenza - Pandemic on the Doorstep" on Sept. 25, 2003 will be led by Dr. Teresa Tam of Health Canada and the WHO. This teleclass will give us the bigger picture of a pending global influenza outbreak, the state of international readiness, and what we should do.
