The one-hour program will combine a telephone audio conference with a simultaneous online video feed, allowing for question-and-answer interaction both by telephone and via the Internet. Thus, participants must have both Internet access and a separate phone line to fully participate. In addition, graphics used during the presentations will be available for downloading as PowerPoint slides after the conference.
Andrew Kroger, M.D., M.P.H., an epidemiologist in the Immunization Services Division of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, or NCIRD, will moderate the conference. Eric Mast, prevention branch chief in the Division of Viral Hepatitis of the CDC's National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis Prevention, will discuss recommendations for use of hepatitis B vaccine in adults, and Katrina Kretsinger, M.D., a medical officer in NCIRD's Division of Bacterial Diseases, will speak about recommendations for the use of tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid and acellular pertussis vaccine, or Tdap, in adults.
Interested clinicians can register online for the conference. As an accredited CME provider, the CDC has designated this activity for a maximum of one category 1 CME credit toward the AMA's Physician's Recognition Award. After the session, participants may log onto the CDC’s online learning system to register for and obtain continuing education credit.
