LAMINATED U.S. CHILDHOOD AND ADULT IMMUNIZATION SCHEDULES ARE A MUST FOR
EVERY EXAM ROOM
Laminated childhood and/or adult immunization schedules will be a useful and
welcome addition to every exam room at your practice site. IAC adapted the
schedules from the ones posted on NIP's website. Each is coated in durable
plastic for heavy-duty use, complete with essential footnotes, and printed
in color for easy comprehension. Following is information on the schedules,
including their prices and ordering options.
Childhood schedule. Based on the ACIP/AAP/AAFP-approved Recommended
Childhood and Adolescent Immunization Schedule, 2006, this 2-sided, 8.5" x
11" schedule is printed back-to-back. To view it, go to:
http://www.immunize.org/immschedules/immschedule_child.pdf
Note: The laminated childhood schedule does not include information about
administering the newly licensed rotavirus vaccine because rotavirus vaccine
is not on the official 2006 childhood schedule on which the laminated
schedule is based.
Prices for the childhood schedule are $4 each for 1–4 copies and $3 each for
5–19 copies. Discount pricing is available for larger quantities.
Adult schedule. Based on the ACIP/AAFP/ACOG-approved Recommended Adult
Immunization Schedule, Oct. 2005–Sept. 2006, this 4-sided, 11" x 17"
schedule is printed back-to-back and folded to 8.5" x 11". To view it, go
to:
http://www.immunize.org/immschedules/immschedule_adult.pdf
Prices for the adult schedule are $5 each for 1–4 copies and $4 each for
5–19 copies. Discount pricing is available for larger quantities.
Ordering options. Order online with a credit card, or order by mail or fax,
using a credit card, check, or purchase order. Shipping is free within the
United States.

IMMUNIZATION TECHNIQUES VIDEO (VHS OR DVD) OFFERS A LOW-COST WAY TO GIVE
STAFF HIGH-QUALITY IMMUNIZATION INSTRUCTION
If you deliver vaccination services at your healthcare site, you owe it to
your staff and patients to order copies of the video Immunization
Techniques: Safe, Effective, Caring. One of IAC's most popular products, the
35-minute video offers providers a way to train staff—quickly, effectively,
and affordably.
Developed by the California Department of Health Services Immunization
Branch in collaboration with a team of national experts, the video teaches
best practices for administering intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous (SC)
vaccines to infants, children, and adults. It is designed for use as a
"hands-on" instructional program for new staff, as well as a refresher
course for experienced health professionals. Available since 2001 as a VHS
videotape, it now comes in DVD format as well.
VHS VIDEOTAPE INFORMATION. The VHS is available from IAC in English only and
comes with the following English-language print materials: (1) presenter's
notes that include instructional objectives, pre- and post-tests, and photos
showing vaccination sites appropriate for infants and toddlers and (2) a
skills checklist to help you document that your staff is well trained.
DVD INFORMATION. The DVD contains both an English version of the video and a
version dubbed in Spanish. You can watch the DVD on a television with a DVD
player or on a computer with a DVD drive.
The DVD includes English- and Spanish-language versions of the following
print materials: (1) the presenter's notes described above, (2), "Comforting
Restraint," a poster that clearly shows parents how to hold a child during
vaccination, and (3) "Be there for your child," a poster that presents ideas
parents can use before, during, and after vaccination to make the experience
easier for their child. The DVD also includes the following print materials
in English only: (1) the skills checklist described above, (2) "Immunization
Record and History," a chart that allows health professionals to document
vaccine administration information for each of the recommended childhood
vaccines, and (3) a resource list that directs parents to sources of
reliable immunization information. PLEASE NOTE: You must have Adobe Acrobat
Reader 5.0 or above to view and print the materials included on the DVD.
The cost for each VHS videotape is $30; the cost for each DVD is $35.
Discounts are available for orders of 20 or more by calling (651) 647-9009.
