Clarity in a Confusing Time: Where to Go for Immunization Guidance

Airing March 19 from 12:00- 1:00 p.m. ET

Recent changes to immunization recommendations are causing confusion and lack of confidence in recommending immunizations. There should be clear, evidence-based guidance from trusted sources. This Public Health Live will feature speakers representing the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, who will review what has changed with the most recent recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and how recommendations for vaccinations have usually been made. These experts will discuss their professional society’s current vaccine recommendations and how vaccinations impact their respective populations. Resources from trusted sources, including Immunize.org and the Vaccine Integrity Project, will also be covered, as will strategies for instilling confidence in vaccines.
