Build Vaccine Confidence While Combatting Disinformation
Vaccine communication, trust, and disinformation.
18th Annual Conference
The 18th annual conference brought healthcare and public-health professionals together for focused updates on vaccine coverage, communication, respiratory disease, immunization records, and prevention across the lifespan.
Conference recap
Practical updates for the people delivering, recommending, and supporting immunization.
The program covered vaccine confidence and disinformation, local immunization coverage, influenza, RSV, Pennsylvania’s transition from PA-SIIS to PIERS, HPV prevention in oral health, and the lived experience of surviving polio.
