FAQs
How can I contact the organizer with any questions?
Please address all aspects of the 2019 Annual Immunization Review to Howard C. Young, III, VFC Quality Assurance Administrator; email is the preferred option for reaching him, howard.young@tn.gov.
Is my registration/ticket transferrable?: No.
Cancellations: If you cannot attend and want someone else to attend in your place, please cancel your registration and have your replacement enter a new reservation.
Walk-ins will be accepted on a first come-first serve basis as seating permits. On-site registration is NOT guaranteed, but we will make every effort to accommodate walk-ins as long as there are open seats.
Can I enter a group registration for multiple people in our office?
No. While you can register for other people in your office, each person must be a separate entry. If you register for a coworker please provide the person's correct information (title, valid email address and correct spelling of their name). Name tags and certificates of attendance will come from the information you provid in this registration module.
Can I update my registration information?
Yes. You can update your information until the registration cut-off date, August 31, 2019. After that, you can only cancel your registration altogether or make any changes on-site.
Do I need my printed ticket to enter the event?
No. You will not need a ticket to enter. All information will be sent to us electronically and your name will be on the roll if you complete the registration process. The ticket is merely a confirmation that you completed the registration process.
Will we get a certificate for completion of the Annual Immunization Review?
Yes! At the completion of the training, everyone who pre-registered will receive a certificate of completion (see above for restrictions). The name that you give us in registration will be printed on your certificate, so double-check spelling! Walk-in registrations will receive certificates if they are ready at the end of the training, too. If they are not ready when the training ends, they will be emailed.
