Welcome to Friday Focus, our new online campaign to educate members each Friday with different resources, toolkits and information on a clinical topic. Each Friday Focus will be centered around a topic that will run for a month. Please check out the resources below and stay up to date with our #FridayFocus.

Immunizations will be the focus for the month of August.

CAFP and the California Immunization Coalition want to remind you that August is National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM)! While physicians should always be knowledgeable of how to appropriately guide patients with their respective vaccination needs, this month focuses on the benefits and importance of immunizations as back-to-school activities are now in full swing. NIAM, in collaboration with CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, offers a toolkit with resources such as specific vaccine information, FAQs, sample news releases, drop-in articles and several other useful items. Each item was developed to help interested parties design their own promotions and to inspire others to share their own NIAM stories. For more information go to www.nphic.org/niam.
