F4072 Addressing Parents' Concerns About Vaccines
Repeats as F4082
Despite unprecedented success in the elimination and control of infectious diseases through vaccination, practitioners now find themselves challenged to justify universal vaccine programs to parents. As diseases have disappeared from the public eye, adverse events related to vaccines have taken on more importance. Unfortunately, many parents fear adverse events that have simply been shown not to occur. This multimedia program explores some of the myths and truths surrounding vaccines and provides the audience with a framework with which to understand the current dilemma and address parent concerns. The lecture is centered around 10 truths about vaccination and includes video clips from the lay press as well as parent interviews.
