Webinar: Polio Resurgence: Guidance for Health Care Workers

Join NETEC Wednesday, January 11 at 12 p.m. EST for a live webinar, “Polio Resurgence: Guidance for Health Care Workers,” intended to help health care providers prepare for managing polio.

Polio has once again caught the attention of public health and health care officials after a case of vaccine-derived poliovirus was reported in New York this summer—the first case in the United States in 10 years.

In this webinar, experts share what you need to know about polio vaccines and CDC recommendations, patient management and post-polio syndrome, laboratory testing, and specimen handling and shipment.
