CDC will present "Immunization Update 2010" via satellite broadcast and webcast on August 5, 2010. The presentation is expected to focus on current use of influenza, pneumococcal conjugate, human papillomavirus, and meningococcal vaccines. Other emerging issues will be discussed, including the latest information from the June 2010 meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. The 2.5-hour broadcast will occur live from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m. and will be rebroadcast the same day from noon to 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Time). Both broadcasts will feature a live question-and-answer session in which participants nationwide can interact with the course instructors by toll-free telephone lines.
