The Hepatitis B and Pneumococcal vaccine recommendations have not received as much national attention as some other vaccine-related issues, but remain to other necessary for our learning and consideration. This webinar will provide information to to the ACIP recommendations and will cover both hepatitis B and pneumococcal vaccinations.
