TRENDING WELLNESS TOPIC: Immunization Update

What is the problem?

The CDC has released an updated immunization schedule for 2023 for children, adolescents, and adults. Physicians need to be up-to-date with this new information, which now includes recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines. As we enter the respiratory season, outbreaks of respiratory and other diseases are expected. It is important for physicians to be able to discuss options and current recommendations for vaccines with their patient populations.
