Providers from Coast to Coast Adopting EZ-IZ Curriculum

EZ-IZ, the training and resource website for providers in California’s Vaccines for Children (VFC) program, went “live” in August. Since then, feedback about the site and its content has been overwhelmingly positive. Immunizers, as well as those responsible for immunization skills training, note the depth and breadth of the site’s resources.

A Supervisor of Immunizations for one California VFC provider said, “After reviewing the material…I have come to the decision that we will be using this training for all staff who administer immunizations.”

EZ-IZ’ utility has already spread beyond the VFC program and outside of California.

The E-learning Coordinator for a large medical center in New Hampshire said she was “very impressed” with EZ-IZ and asked for permission to include the interactive online lessons, Preparing Vaccines and Administering Vaccines, in the center’s online immunization education program.

Local health departments in Alameda and Contra Costa counties have already decided to use the EZ-IZ Curriculum to train immunizers in their mass vaccination flu clinics.

This month all California VFC providers will receive a mailing a that includes information about how their practices
can benefit by the myriad resources on EZ-IZ, a one-stop shop for immunization skills training, job aids,
VFC forms, up-to-the-minute news about vaccine availability, and much more.
