National Immunization Awareness Month is the big show in the vaccine world. The idea is that everyone will get conversations started about immunizations just as the kids are about to go back to school, and the conversations will be about getting the whole family vaccinated.
Voices for Vaccines has lots of fresh content coming out throughout the month of August, so please subscribe to our podcast and check our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for great new stuff.
But until then, print out or post some of our great resources that we’ve spent years perfecting just for you to use for free?
What? VFV resources are free? Indeed it is so, but only because of our generous donors. Become a VFV donor to help us keep the vaccine-positive conversation going.
