Project Firstline WEBINARS AND PODCASTS
Applying Science Driving Infection Control Operations to Large-Scale Mass Vaccination Sites

During Applying Science Driving Infection Control Operations to Large-Scale Mass Vaccination Sites, speakers will identify lessons learned and science-driven operations to securely operate large-scale mass vaccination sites. Information related to operational challenges including logistics and infection prevention and control strategies will be discussed. Topical content areas will include core principles of exposure management used in occupational and environmental health practice as well as definitions and example applications of engineering and administrative exposure control strategies. The use and selection of personal protective equipment will also be discussed as it relates to the preferred hierarchy of exposure controls used in Industrial and Occupational Hygiene practice.

POD-based planning, Mass Vaccination, and Infection Control | NNPHI Project Firstline Webinar

POD-based Planning, Mass Vaccination, and IPC will offer a closer look at the utility of traditional POD-based planning concepts and training (Points of Distribution/Dispensing) with a focus on IPC challenges in a mass vaccination rollout (rather than pill-based countermeasures) across two major metropolitan areas – Atlanta, GA, and New Orleans, LA, where POD planning has been championed for over a decade for pathogen-based threats and hurricanes alike.

Tactical, Operational, and Strategic IPC Planning for Mass Vaccination Sites

This three-part webinar series will focus on infection control and mass vaccination sites. Cross-pollinating traditional clinical medicine and emergency response disciplines with exposure and environmental health sciences, including industrial hygiene, are crucial to enhancing local and state-level Emergency Support Function 8 – Public Health and Medical Services as well as the emergency management enterprise pre- and post-disaster. As such, this webinar series will feature experts in infection control, public health emergency preparedness and management, and industrial hygiene.

Springboard to Active Schools COVID-19 Resources

Springboard to Active Schools has been working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and several national partners to reimagine what physical activity for students looks like during COVID-19.

Physical education and opportunities for movement are a critical part of the learning experience. Although students are learning differently during pandemic, the fact remains that America’s children still need to be physically active for at least 60 minutes each day as the CDC recommends.

Springboard to Active Schools has developed new resources to help schools integrate classroom physical activity with a safety, inclusion, and equity lens in different learning settings, which are available here and on Springboard’s website.

Resources

  • Considerations for classroom physical activity during COVID-19
    This Springboard resource provides district and school administrators, teachers, and caregivers, and families with practical ideas and considerations to safely and equitably incorporate classroom physical activity to promote a culture of active engagement and learning.
  • Classroom Physical Activity Ideas and Tips
    This Springboard one-pager provides teachers with tips on how to effectively engage students in active learning, followed by printable sheets of activity/energizer cards for different grade levels and learning settings (in-person vs. virtual).
  • Keeping Kids Physically Active: Tips for Caregivers
    This Springboard one-pager provides simple tips and suggestions for parents/caregivers on how to support children and youth in getting 60 minutes of physical activity every day.
