Welcome!

March 2024

Welcome to March and what a dreary start weather-wise March 1 was!  Most of our eyes are on the Georgia General Assembly, which is nearing the home-stretch of the 2024 session.  Monday, March 4, will be the 29th day of the 40-day session.  Watch you emails as we’ll be sending out a summary thus far, very soon. And visit the Legislative page on this website for news on bills and issues we’re following.

 

 

On March 6, the Georgia AAP will again produce the Immunize Georgia Conference, at the Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta. This Georgia Dept. of Public Health day-long conference focuses on all aspects of immunizations from ID, to storage & handling, GRITS, vaccine hesitancy and more. The main audience for this event is immunization staffers at county public health departments, but it’s a wonderful event for pediatricians, and for your office staff, both clinical and administrative, as well.  CME and nursing credits are offered. For more information, click here.

Speaking of events, the Georgia AAP regularly produces webinars, EPIC ® programs, ECHO® programs for our members benefit—and they are always free to our members.  These programs focus on immunizations, breastfeeding, mental & behavioral health, and other timely topics.  Visit the calendar page for a list of all the upcoming webinars, EPIC’s, ECHO’s, and other events.
