Description
This webinar focused on immunization information-gathering and decision-making practices in vulnerable refugee and immigrant populations in the city of Edmonton, Alberta. Ms. Stephanie Kowal presented key findings and recommendations from her study on the prairies focusing particularly on the potential impact that using cultural brokers can have on the success of creating access to immunization services and promoting immunization uptake. In addition, she discussed how nurses and physicians can best communicate with newly arrived families to ensure that immunization decisions are fully informed and are in the best interest of the patients.
