Promoting the use of and access to vaccines has been my life’s work, but even for someone who spends each day thinking about how vaccinations can save lives, the past year has been like nothing else.
Never in my 26-year career with Vaccinate Your Family have I seen such attention and praise on the value that vaccines bring to our health, our economy and the good of society as a whole. For those of us who work in public health, the great hope is that this opportunity in time will not be squandered, but rather looked back upon as a time we as a country put public health first and worked across the spectrum to increase access to vaccinations.
