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.

An updated evidence review by the Vaccine Integrity Project and American Medical Association provides reassurance that immunisation remains a safe and effective way of reducing the impact of influenza, COVID-19 and RSV.
The review also assessed the risks posed by these viruses, finding that they continue to cause substantial numbers of hospitalisations and deaths, particularly among infants, older adults and other vulnerable groups.

A major new review finds that vaccination continues to protect against severe illness and hospitalisation, with no new safety concerns.
