| The Sabin Vaccine Institute’s Boost Community, in partnership with People Power Health, is excited to offer a new course, Climate Ready Immunization – Empowering Immunization Professionals for Climate Action, beginning Tuesday, October 8, 2024.
This interactive course will enhance your understanding of the critical link between the climate crisis and immunization programs and equip you with the community engagement and environmental monitoring skills needed to adapt immunization programs in the face of climate challenges. As the climate crisis increasingly impacts public health, immunization professionals must be prepared to address these challenges head-on. Participants will have the unique opportunity to utilize a specially developed template to monitor the effects of climate change, advocate for policy changes, and collaborate with peers whose work and daily lives are directly affected by climate change. |
