Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issues updates 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) periodically provides updates on Vaccine Information Sheets (VIS), recommended immunizations for healthcare workers, hepatitis B, hazard identification and work related injury prevention recommendations, disaster news, and general wellness topics.  Ninth Brain provides its clients with the latest releases from the CDC pertaining to health care providers as we post these updates in NBS.  This is just one of the many ways Ninth Brain gives you access to solutions to put your mind at ease.
