Pediatric Scholars (PEdS) and Students for Accurate Vaccine Information (SAVI) are having a Vaccine Hesitancy Workshop on Tuesday, October 19th from 6:00 to 7:30 pm EST! Details below, but please RSVP here if you are interested: https://forms.gle/daJYTmWHLeKVuNAt7 (There will be a virtual option for anyone who wants to tune into the panel from the comfort of their own home!)
Our expert panel:
Anton Alerte, M.D. (Pediatrics)
Kensia Mansilla-Rivera, M.D. (Family Medicine)
David Banach, M.D., M.P.H. (Infectious Disease)
Zita Lazzarini, J.D., M.P.H. (Public Health Sciences)
Eileen Mercurio, MD (Pediatrics)
The first 30 minutes will be time for our panelists to answer some pre-prepared questions, as well as any questions that come up from the audience. During this time, they will give us tips on how to talk about vaccines and tell us about their experience doing so. We are hoping to be able to stream this portion of the event.
The last hour will be time to practice talking about vaccine hesitancy through cases with a partner while our panelists walk around, make suggestions, and answer questions.
See you there!
PEdS and SAVI
