The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit is conducting a vaccine usage study. The goals of the project are to assess the compliance rate of the Ontario vaccine and storage guidelines and also evaluate the attitudes of Health Care Professionals towards the delivery of simultaneous injections. The information will be used to determine how we can better help the healthcare community improve vaccine safety and delivery.
Windsor-Essex County Health Unit nurses conducted physician office visits May - April, 2008. Now that the office visits have been completed, we are offering an online, voluntary certification course on maintaining the vaccine cold chain. A second module covering the facts about simultaneous injections will also be offered. These courses will be available online, on CD and also in print.
We appreciate the participation of physician offices in this study and their commitment to improving the health of the residents of Windsor-Essex County.
