Fact and Fiction on Measles and Respiratory Virus Vaccines

As respiratory virus season approaches, measles outbreaks keep spreading, and vaccine misinformation reaches even the highest levels of government, health journalists face a mountain of questions from their audiences. This webinar brings together top infectious disease experts Jesse Goodman, Fiona Havers, and Paul Offit, along with immunologist Elisabeth Marnik, to deliver clear answers on pressing topics: if COVID vaccines will be available to everyone and at what cost, what we know about the new mRNA flu vaccine and its safety, the best course of action for expectant parents, the facts behind the measles outbreak and related deaths in Pennsylvania, and whether the MMR vaccine could be split into three separate shots. Beyond the facts, you’ll learn practical strategies for debunking rumors and misconceptions, and for presenting accurate information in ways that are engaging, matter-of-fact, and accessible to any audience.
