We will be sending them the laminated schedules from IAC and we are also planning to send out the article by Dr. Ari Brown "Clear Answers." Last year we sent out the screening questionnaires for childhood and adolescent vaccines. All of the materials produced by IAC are very welcome in the provider offices and we have had many requests for more materials. We very much appreciate all the work you do to provide reliable information that helps us fight the myths and misinformation about vaccine-preventable diseases and to educate providers about best practices. Thanks for helping us fulfill our mission to prevent what's preventable!"
