Your Source for Dermatology Education & Tools
As the body’s largest organ, the skin is constantly working to protect the body’s internal organs and regulate temperature,
among other vital functions, and the condition of a person’s skin can reflect their overall health and aging status. Diseases
of the skin, such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, affect people of all ages and can take a major toll on the patient’s quality
of life. CME Outfitters has developed this Dermatology Education Hub with a number of educational activities and resources
to help you better treat and manage your patients with aging skin or skin disease in order to increase quality of life.
Live Webcast: Giving Shingles Immunization Your Best Shot: Implementing a Shingles Vaccination Protocol in Your Practice
|
Wednesday, August 26, 2020 | 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM ET Shingles, or herpes zoster, is a common secondary infection for older patients. Almost all individuals over the age of 50 are latently infected with varicella zoster virus (VZV) and therefore are at risk of developing shingles with reactivation of latent VZV. Individuals who develop shingles often experience debilitating postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), secondary skin infections, eye problems, or neurologic conditions including an increased risk of stroke. Despite the existence of vaccines, the number of people vaccinated for shingles remains low. In large part, this is due to the majority of individuals being unaware that a vaccine exists, as clinicians often fail to initiate discussion about it. This CME Outfitters Live and OnDemand webcast will focus on the burden imposed by shingles, improving uptake of vaccination and series completion for shingles through patient education, and applying real-world strategies to implement shingles immunization protocols.
