The voice of the anti-vaccine movement has been extremely strong online, which has been fueled by statements made by celebrities such as Jenny McCarthy, Alicia Silverstone, Bill Maher and Robert Kennedy Junior. The pro-vaccine movement needs to become just as – or even more – outspoken and passionate about this cause. Lives are at stake. There is a lot of misinformation online that needs to be challenged.
Studies have shown that the most important factor in a parent’s decision to vaccinate their child is a strong provider recommendation. Not only do we encourage you to make a strong in-office recommendation, but you should also advocate for vaccines with your website and social media.
