EPIC® Immunization Education Program provides an excellent overview of vaccine information. Our goal is to educate health care providers with the most current vaccine information available so that they can provide optimal care and prevent vaccine-preventable diseases.

The program curriculum was developed and implemented by the Georgia Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (GAAAP) in collaboration with the Georgia Immunization Program. To ensure the benefits of EPIC® are available to all private providers, EPIC® has a strong working relationship with the Georgia Academy of Family Physicians (GAFP), the Georgia Chapter of the American College of Physicians (GAACP), and the Georgia OB/GYN Society.
