School-Located Vaccination Strategies to Increase Child & Adolescent Immunization Rates During the COVID-19 Pandemic

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many children and adolescents in the United States have fallen behind on recommended routine immunizations. As schools reopen in person for the fall, school-located vaccination (SLV) clinics can help support improved access to COVID-19 vaccinations for eligible students and their families, while also providing critical opportunities for the seasonal flu shot and “catch up” on routine vaccinations.

Please join the Obesity Care Advocacy Network )OCAN) for a discussion about how to prepare students for a healthy and successful return to school. Our children face many unique challenges this year, from increasing rates of childhood obesity in the U.S. to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all while many schools attempt to return to in-person learning.

There are helpful emotion regulation strategies that you can use as a nurse to live a healthier life at work and at home. Join the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence for the fall webinar series for nurses on managing emotions.
