Why a Toolkit for the ED?

The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) working group on emergency departments (ED) pediatric vaccinations strongly advocates for childhood vaccinations. As frontline providers and the primary safety net for underserved populations, EDs and their staff play a key public health role for many public health initiatives. Providing and advocating for pediatric vaccinations is part of our public health mission.
