The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit will be conducting a vaccine usage study starting in mid April and continuing through to May. 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.

Once the office visits have been completed we will be 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. You can find out more information about this course, once this course is ready to be offered.

We appreciate the participation of physician offices in this study and their commitment to improving the health of the residents of Windsor-Essex County.
