Although we previewed this event on Monday, a quick reminder that the CDC will hold a COCA Call on the recent spate of `vaping' associated acute lung injuries being reported.
Primarily of interest to clinicians and healthcare providers, COCA (Clinician Outreach Communication Activity) calls are designed to ensure that practitioners have up-to-date information for their practices.Details on today's COCA call follow. This is likely to be a `hot ticket' event, so you'll probably want to log in early.
