Dr. Vogelgesang Appointed to State-Wide Immunization Post

Congratulations to our own Dr. V! He has been appointed Director of the "Maximizing Office-Based Immunization" (MOBI) Program. This program is a partnership between the Ohio Department of Health, county health departments, and the Ohio chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. The program is designed to assist pediatric and family practice offices in increasing their immunization rates. Vaccine specialists visit offices participating in the program and audit charts for vaccine information, then report on their findings and provide education and suggestions on increasing immunization rates. As MOBI Director, Dr. Vogelgesang will be responsible for overseeing training of the vaccine specialists, monitoring office audits, providing appropriate educational materials, and serving as a resource for physicians seeking information about vaccines and vaccine delivery. Congratulations Dr. V!
