    COVID-19 Reference Sheet: Vaccines

    To control the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, we need public health measures (e.g., masks, physical distancing, hand washing), treatments for infection, and vaccines to prevent infection or serious disease.

    While representing ONS in June 2019 at the National Institute for Nursing Research in Bethesda, MD, I met with my state’s congressional delegation to introduce ONS’s health policy legislative agenda to their offices on Capitol Hill.

    How Oncology Nurse Navigation Contributes to Effective Care Coordination
