Project FirstLine-Infection Prevention & Control Training

As a project FirstLine  2023 partner, The Atlanta Black Nurses Association (ABNA) has one more month to make  its last call for action  to assist ANA and CDC to reach six million US Health Care worker in providing access to foundational and practical Infection Prevention Control knowledge and resources. We all can agree that transmission and spread of viruses and bacteria are a part of the environment that we must learn to manage better. By now, most of you have heard  about the FDA recommendation for the 2023-2024 formula of COVID-19 vaccines in the U. S. Based on sound data , “for the 2023-2024 Formula of COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S., the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee unanimously voted (21/0) on recommending a 2023-2024 Formula update of the current vaccine composition to a monovalent XBB-lineage” (FDA, 2023, www.fda.gov). If you want to learn more about the basic science of viruses and how viruses spread and much more on infection control and practice,  Project Firstline (PFL) is for you.
