Course Overview
Vaccines elicit many questions from patients concerned about their safety and efficacy. Navigating the confusing and controversial information about vaccines often leads parents to seek the advice of naturopathic doctors to gain clarity and confidence when vaccinating their children. This webinar will provide participants with the most up-to-date information on CDC vaccination recommendations, as well as give clinicians the tools necessary to help parents make informed vaccination decisions and create personalized vaccination plans.  Controversial vaccination ingredients and strategies for minimizing potential side effects will be discussed in addition to methods for optimizing immune response to vaccinations and naturopathic management of adverse reactions.
