The Immunization Project is the department focused on research activities for acute respiratory illness and gastroenteritis for our hospital staff and patients. Our team of over 20 individuals approach and enroll patients in our studies throughout our hospital in the Texas Medical Center and Texas Children's Pediatrics clinics across the Houston area. Our team has the unique opportunity of enrolling patients across multiple levels of care, from the outpatient to EC to inpatient settings.
We nurture the professional growth of our team members by improving their:
(1) communication skills with children and families,
(2) medical English and Spanish terminology through screening and chart review, and
(3) vaccine and prevention product literacy through the product verification process.
Our research within our CDC network is essential to providing up-to-date information and guidance about current pathogens circulating regionally and nationally and the effectiveness of current prevention products, such as the flu and rotavirus vaccines and RSV prevention products.
