Course Significance:
Learning about all of the vaccines available for older adults can be challenging. The information available to seniors can be difficult to understand, and is sometimes contradictory. Designed for people who work directly with older adults, this course aims to provide basic information on the vaccines recommended for your clients. The information in this course will help you to discuss vaccines with your clients and to develop awareness campaigns that can lead to an increase in the number of older adults being vaccinated.
