I use it for ALL of our staff and parent education programs. We use the material for handouts at health fairs and moms and tots programs in libraries. We use the videos for orientation for all of our new immunization nurses as well as all of the nursing students who do their clinical time in our health centers. One of our favorite pieces is the "Shots for Babies." The mothers love it because it is written in language that they understand and it makes sense to them. We have a very large Hispanic population in our county and having the material in Spanish makes it so much easier for us. Our county has limited finances to create new immunization teaching materials. With the Needle Tips materials the only thing we have to do is make copies!! Thank you so much for making Needle Tips the great publication it is!! Our staff would be lost without it.

I like to keep myself educated and well informed. I had a friend who believed that her child did not need her ‘shots’ and I was able to convince her using an older copy of Needle Tips Fall/Winter 1998 which had a section on deaths of children/adults who contracted contagious diseases without being vaccinated.

"I was at the NLN conference
in Baltimore this past Thursday through Saturday. There were 1,300
nursing faculty attending the conference. Your pocket guide to influenza
vaccine was a big hit. Quite a few faculty said their students do flu
clinics and the cards will be helpful to them as well as faculty who go
with them... I thought I would have about 30-40 Needle Tips left over and
then a couple of people wanted them for all of their students. Just
wanted you to know they were a hit! We appreciate your sending them so
quickly."

"We just got the latest
Needle Tips-it is wonderful-as usual! We really love the new "adult"
pamphlet and the First Do No Harm information. We are seeing very low
influenza vaccination rates for personnel in some of our nursing homes
and we are working hard to change that... Thanks again for all you do!"

"Thank you for the May 2004
issue of Needle Tips. There are some very useful pieces of information in
it. I work as a school nurse and the listing of the vaccine brand
names/manufacturers will be so helpful. As students bring immunization
records, I don't always know which brand names are which immunizations. I
always enjoy reading Needle Tips and the IAC EXPRESS by email is helpful
too."
C.T., RN, BSN, Ashland-Greenwood Public Schools, May 4, 2004 |

"Although I've no idea how I
happened to get on the Needle Tips mailing list, I am eternally grateful
for the invaluable information contained in your publication. I've used
it many times in my career as a school nurse. I read it cover to cover
and share it with the pediatric nurses at my evening job as well. Thank
you so much for all the hard work your team does to make this information
possible."

"I am a big fan of your
publication. The information is timely and well written. One of my
favorite articles was Vaccines and Autism, written by Dr. Paul Offit
(Summer 2002). Could I get a PDF or text version of this article so I can
distribute it to my parents via my website and email? I owe Dr. Offit a
fan letter."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you... I am a
pediatric nurse practitioner who has been involved in immunization since
1992 and have been searching every resource possible to find a reliable
source to document that we do not give children injections in the gluteus
lateralis. I am a clinical instructor in Peds/OB at a community college
and have tried to convince the instructor that the Pediatrics text she
uses is wrong (it states injections can be given in that spot after 2
years of age). My friend who is a geriatric nurse practitioner knew of my
search and showed me the summer issue of VACCINATE ADULTS!-not only was
the answer I was looking for there, but detailed, easily understood
diagrams and information about the proper way to vaccinate children and
adults. I laminated two copies and will give one to the didactic
instructor so that she and I are not giving students mixed messages and
the students will get the correct answer on the test. The second copy
will be put up at the free clinic where I have volunteered for 10 years
to make sure that all who volunteer to give immunizations know what they
are doing. I am very passionate about having only competent persons
giving immunizations."

both the www.immunize.org website and Needle Tips. Together they offer an essential clinical resource and invaluable teaching tool for
