In partnership with the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH), the Immunization program offers continuing education classes to healthcare professionals to improve knowledge and understanding of immunizations and related issues.

Our Public Health Nurses, approved by MDCH as Immunization Nurse Educators (INE), provide the classes, which vary in length and are available during the lunch hour period. The classes are at no charge to the provider office and nurses can receive continuing education credits while others can receive a certificate of attendance.

Available modules include:

• Infant and Young Child Immunizations – 1.25 hours
• Older Child and Adolescent Immunizations – 1.25 hours
