Promoting Effective Vaccine Conversations Online and Offline

Getting vaccinated during pregnancy can protect both parent and child from vaccine preventable, yet maternal vaccination coverage in the US is historically lower than the general population. Vaccine misinformation and questions and concerns that go unaddressed can all affect vaccine confidence and affect a pregnant person’s healthcare decisions. In this interactive webinar, participants will be equipped with the latest knowledge and tools and share their best practices to confidently recommend vaccines to their pregnant clients.
