Abstract

While significant research has focused on the safety of childhood vaccines' intrinsic properties, little attention has been given to the complex and error-prone vaccine administration process. The purpose of this quality improvement project is to improve clinician knowledge of pediatric vaccines and safe administration behaviors leading to decreased error.
