Event Description
As vaccine science remains strong and consistent, the environment surrounding it continues to shift. Changes in policy, public discourse, and information channels have altered how healthcare and public health professionals access evidence—and how patients perceive it. This timely webinar will review the current state of vaccine safety evidence, including what the research does—and does not—show regarding commonly cited concerns. Participants will explore how recent policy and institutional changes are influencing access to reliable vaccine information, and gain practical, evidence-based communication strategies to address misinformation and build trust in clinical and public health settings. This clear, research-grounded discussion is designed to strengthen confidence in vaccine science and support effective conversations in today’s evolving landscape.
