“Recent efforts to spread misinformation and challenge public confidence in vaccines have led to confusion and growing vaccination hesitancy. Join us for a town hall where experts will talk about the science behind vaccines, how misinformation affects public health, and the role of policies in building trust and ensuring access. We’ll discuss how local, state and federal policies impact vaccination efforts, ways to address vaccine hesitancy, and how to make vaccines more accessible to all communities. This event is free to all, so everyone can have a chance to join the conversation on vaccines and public health policy.
