ATTN: IMMUNIZING PHARMACISTS (NCPA e-news 9/25/<strong>2012</strong>)<br />
An enhanced, free, and online immunization locator is now available through HealthMap,<br />
a global disease-tracking resource overseen by researchers at Children's Hospital Boston<br />
Flu season is rapidly approaching, and with it, the launch of the newly redesigned and<br />
expanded HealthMap Vaccine Finder. Vaccine Finder now is highlighting the availability of<br />
all forms of influenza vaccine (traditional flu shot, nasal spray, intradermal and high dose).<br />
Later this year, the Vaccine Finder will expand to cover 10 adult vaccines and help individuals<br />
locate practices that administer the wide spectrum of adult vaccines.<br />
HealthMap Vaccine Finder will use geo-mapping to identify providers from the database<br />
within an identified radius who meet the vaccination criteria of an individual. Listing order<br />
will be based upon distance from the patient. All providers have the opportunity to<br />
enter information on their vaccine services into the database. The system allows you to<br />
upload a spreadsheet for multiple practices (template provided online) or manually enter<br />
information on a single practice.<br />
If you already have a Vaccine Finder account, enter your data on vaccines and vaccination<br />
services. Log-in at http://healthmap.org/vaccinefinder/admin/ to get started.<br />
If you have not already signed up for an account and would like to have your practice<br />
listed on HealthMap Vaccine Finder, go to http://healthmap.org/vaccinefinder/admin/<br />

covered, it is more than safe to assume, YOU ARE NOT COV-<br />
ERED!<br />
