Physician Practices: Meet Your DOH Immunization Liaison
This month, the Washington State Department of Health's Office of Immunizations issued a reminder to the physician community of the availability of personalized guidance through its immunization resources via a dedicated immunization liaison. The liaison can help connect practices with DOH programs, provide practices with information on vaccines, and answer any questions practices have related to immunizations in general.
Part of the DOH's Immunization Liaison Team, Cheryl Ann Barnes, MPH, is your contact for immunization assistance. Practices may contact Cheryl directly at cherylann.barnes@doh.wa.gov. Additionally, her team has a dedicated mailbox for physicians and practice staff at OIProviderSupport@doh.wa.gov, where you can send your inquiries. Health care practitioners or practice staff are encouraged to sign up for this newsletter: Vaccines for Respiratory Illnesses Newsletter Sign Up.
As a reminder, be sure your practice is aware of these Department of Health immunization resources.
