Editor's Note
The Joint Commission on November 30 announced the launch of a new patient safety campaign—Speak Up About Vaccinations—that is designed to help patients better understand vaccines.
The campaign includes:

The Joint Commission started the Speak Up program in 2002, and it has been used in more than 70 countries to encourage patients to be their own advocates.
