PLAN AHEAD: USE YOUR YEAR-END DOLLARS TO STOCK UP ON POPULAR, PRACTICAL IMMUNIZATION RESOURCES FOR 2004

Does it look like your department or organization will be unable to use up its annual budget by the end of the year? If so, the Immunization Action Coalition (IAC) suggests you use your year-end dollars NOW to place an order for bulk quantities of immunization resources you'll need in 2004.

In the past several years, IAC has shipped more than a million items to providers around the world. Some of the most popular items include the following: (1) the video "Immunization Techniques: Safe, Effective, Caring," (2) Adult Immunization Record Cards, (3) the Photo Notebook of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases, and (4) the Slide Set of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases.

Order these popular items in bulk, and you'll receive substantial discounts. Also, please note there is no shipping charge for orders shipped by fourth-class mail within the United States.


IMMUNIZATION TECHNIQUES VIDEO
You can ensure your staff has expertise in administering vaccines by ordering and showing them the video "Immunization Techniques: Safe, Effective, Caring." Developed by the California Department of Health Services Immunization Branch and a team of national experts, the 35-minute video presents abundant practical information on vaccinating people of all ages. An excellent tool for training new staff and refreshing the skills of experienced staff, the video comes with presenter notes and a skills checklist. ($25 each; discounts for orders of 20 or more--please call (651) 647-9009.)

ADULT IMMUNIZATION RECORD CARDS. Invaluable for educating adults that immunization is a lifelong process, the card lists seven vaccines for adults. Use it during patient visits to discuss a patient's vaccination status with them; then give it to them and encourage them to put it in their wallet and use it to keep track of their next vaccination due date. Printed on smudge-proof, rip-proof, waterproof paper, the card is intended for lifelong use.

The cost for one 250-count box is $25; two boxes (500 cards), $45; three boxes (750 cards), $60; four boxes (1,000 cards), $70. Additional pricing for larger quantities can be found on the online order form (see the link below). Discounts for orders of more than 2,000 cards--please call (651) 647-9009.

PHOTO NOTEBOOK/SLIDE SET OF VACCINE-PREVENTABLE DISEASES. These two powerful visual aids are intended for clinic staff and community outreach workers who make immunization presentations. Each includes color images of children and adults with vaccine-preventable diseases. When you show your patients a picture of an infant with severe varicella disease or other infections, they will begin to understand the seriousness of the diseases that vaccines can prevent. Whether viewed as a photo on a tabletop or as a slide on a screen, each riveting image is easily worth more than a thousand words.


THE PHOTO NOTEBOOK OF VACCINE-PREVENTABLE DISEASES holds 20 plastic-protected, 8"x10" color photographs and comes in a three-ring binder. Each picture is accompanied by simple text that explains the disease portrayed. ($75 per set; discounts for orders of more than five sets--please call (651) 647-9009.)
