SEPTEMBER 27, 2023

For those of you who presented at the 2023 AIRA National Meeting in San Diego, the Publication Project Workgroup (PPW) would like to know if you're moving your work from a presentation to publication, and offer their support if you'd like it. Please take this 1-minute poll to share information with the PPW.

The PPW fosters the increased publication of peer-reviewed IIS-related articles and provides a forum for collaboration among IIS stakeholders and experts to identify, prioritize, and outline key themes and messages for journal publication. PPW members discuss helpful strategies and barriers to publication, identify and coordinate publication options, and encourage and support members of the IIS community in preparing potential journal articles. Check out the new PPW web page for more information about this group.

Please join us for the upcoming AIRA Members and Partners meeting on Monday, October 16, 2–3 p.m. ET. AIRA Members and Partners quarterly meetings provide important updates from AIRA and partner organizations and are a great way to get a high-level overview of the activities going on within the IIS and immunization community. Members and Partners meetings are held on Zoom. The registration link will automatically take you to Zoom.

We hope you can join us. Recordings of past meetings can be found in the AIRA Repository.
