Don't miss today's National AHEC Organization HPV webinar
Presented by: Dr. Gary S. Marshall, Professor of Pediatrics;
Chief, Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases,
University of Louisville
School of Medicine
Target Audience
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of
health professionals who provide and/or promote immunizations
including
physicians, physician assistants and registered nurses.
Educational Objectives
How can we explain vaccine hesitancy given the
self-evident truth that vaccines have unburdened mankind from so many
serious diseases? This program beings with that self-evident truth but moves
through the character and epidemiology of vaccine hesitancy to exploring the
root causes, which lie deep within the nature of being human. Discussion topics
include the power of anecdote, the ubiquity of (mis)information, celebrity-ism,
confusion, the human tendency towards heuristic thinking and the decline of altruism.
Risk-benefit communication is explored and thoughts are offered on how we can
better deal with this threat to public health. The lecture is replete with
impactful illustrations and anecdotes.
