West Virginia Immunization Network: Immunization “Open Space” Event

WHERE: Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Sutton/Flatwoods

The WIN Open Space event is back! All WV Immunization Network coalition members are invited to this dynamic, fun, facilitated event to learn and explore strategies to improve immunization rates in a highly flexible and interactive event. The content for this session will be entirely determined by you and the other coalition members in attendance, utilizing the expertise of your peers to collectively identify strategies to overcome barriers and challenges to improving immunization rates. WIN members have found past Open Space meetings to be some of the most informative, engaging, and motivating WIN events.

The meeting will be held in the conference center at the Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Sutton Flatwoods hotel. Lunch will be provided.  Registration is now closed for this event.
