A summary of presentations from the weekly Summit partner webinars
February 22, 2024 – Webinar: Maternal Immunization: Opportunities and Challenges
This one-hour webinar was co-sponsored by the NAIIS and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).
Maternal immunization rates for influenza and Tdap have declined over the last two years and COVID-19 vaccination rates also remain low. With the exciting addition of the new RSV vaccine for pregnant people, the maternal immunization platform has expanded and become more complicated for clinicians to implement. Hear about the importance of maternal immunizations, challenges facing clinicians recommending and administering maternal vaccines, and possible solutions.
This webinar is supported by an unrestricted grant from Pfizer Vaccines. All content is the sole responsibility of Immunize.org and ACOG.
Speakers:
Ashanda Saint Jean, MD, Chair of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Health Alliance Hospitals of the Hudson Valley
Laura Riley, MD, Obstetrician and Gynecologist-in-Chief, New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center
