DO YOU HAVE END-OF-THE-FISCAL-YEAR DOLLARS YOU NEED TO SPEND? CONSIDER A MAJOR PURCHASE FROM IAC

Does it look like your health department or agency will have money to spend before the end of September? If so, IAC suggests you use your year-end dollars to order a supply of immunization DVDs, videos, CDs, or record cards to distribute throughout your organization or agency. You'll save significantly when you order bulk quantities of the following items.

IMMUNIZATION TECHNIQUES: SAFE, EFFECTIVE, CARING
Developed by the California Department of Health Services Immunization Branch in collaboration with a team of national experts, this 35-minute 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 and as a refresher course for experienced vaccinators.

What's the price? The video is available in VHS tape and DVD formats. The price of the VHS is $30; the price of the DVD is $35. For detailed information, go to: https://www.immunize.org/iztech
