25th Annual Massachusetts Adult Immunization Conference Recap• Overall the feedback was positive
Example feedback from “Program Strengths:”
Content rich and well presented Good speakers, ran well
Dr.Bridges was best speaker and her content
was relevant and clear
Presenters really knew their material. Very
knowledgeable
Good range of topics; well run, especially being
the first virtual conference; went according to the
agenda timeline
The conference was really great given that it was
on a different platform this year due to COVID. I
thought the organization of the event and the
presentations were seamless!
The question and answer sections were very well
executed. I greatly appreciated the COVID-19
discussions
The variety of topics, the extend of the material
discussed
25th Annual Massachusetts Adult Immunization Conference Recap
Example feedback from “how we can improve our program:”
A suggestion was made a few times during the
conference to go to the conference website for
more information. I couldn't find the conference
supporters on the website.
Encourage a session of abstracts with local
research. Do more situational questions and
examples involving new updates to the vaccine
schedule
Do more situational questions and examples
involving new updates to the vaccine schedule
To bring some additional choices for afternoon
sessions that might apply to college health
setting
The technology was slow and not all people got
on the meetings in a timely fashion
Live is always better, hope next year!!!!
Go back to explain basics not everyone has
medical degree
Have the speakers not read their notes
