PAIC – PA AAP Immunization Initiatives Staff Change and Job Opening
Amy Wishner RN MSN APHN-BC is retiring from this joint position. I have been at PA AAP 24+ years working on immunization issues, and before that as Nurse-Epidemiologist at the Philadelphia Dept of Public Health for 11 years, including during the measles epidemic of 1991-92 – so plenty of work on immunization! There certainly have been many developments and changes over this time – new vaccines, combinations, recommendations, outbreaks, elimination of smallpox and almost of polio, and now a new vaccine-preventable disease. And so many of you wonderful and incredibly supportive people making up my immunization “community.” Thank you! April 9, 2021 will be my last day, meaning that this is an exciting job opportunity for someone! There is not yet an official job posting but if in the meantime you want info about the opportunity, feel free to contact me awishner@paaap.org. It will be posted on Indeed and I will notify you when it is posted. Help us get some fabulous candidates!
