About

This webinar is about the rise in measles cases in the U.S., which are at their highest in 25 years. Despite high vaccination rates, many children still miss timely vaccinations. Most cases are linked to unvaccinated travelers and close-knit communities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers free continuing education credits for healthcare professionals who participate. The CDC is accredited to provide education for various medical roles and emphasizes that no commercial support was accepted for this activity. Participants can earn credits by following specific steps online before set deadlines.
