ICC: From Practice to Policy - Keeping What Worked: Lessons learned from COVID-19 ped immunizations
This day long conference on September 13, 2022 was one component of the Immunizing Children with Confidence project, a collaboration between Children's Healthcare Canada and Solutions for Kids in Pain.
From H1N1 and SARS we learned not to ignore lessons learned! Let’s not repeat the mistakes of the past. This Pop-Up worked to capture and imbed our Covid-19 pediatric immunization lessons learned into organizational policies, processes, and practices along the continuum of disciplines that feed into the delivery of immunization services for children and youth. From collaboration to communication, and from access to accessibility, we highlighted the lessons learned and future opportunities to strengthen the resiliency of our health systems and ensure we are prepared for future crises.
This timely and critical content was developed in partnership with the Immunizing Children with Confidence Advisory Committee comprised of children's healthcare, infectious disease, vaccine development and approval, health policy, and other expertise. To learn more, visit our resource hub.
