Event: Vaccines at the Crossroads: Outbreaks on the Rise Across America
When: September 4, 2014, 9:30 – 11:00am
Where: National Press Club Journalism Institute, Washington D.C.
Across America, children are getting sick and dying from these preventable diseases—in part because some parents (more than 10 percent) choose to skip or delay their children’s immunizations. What are parents’ biggest concerns? What are the risks to the child and society when people decide to forego immunization? The National Press Club Journalism Institute, in partnership with NOVA and Tangled Bank Studios, will co-host a media briefing on these questions and trends. The panel will include experts on vaccines and vaccination issues and the producers of an upcoming show on the PBS NOVA program: Vaccines – Calling the Shots, which will air September 10.
