Book talk: 'Pro-vax: Supporting Vaccines through Activism, Petitions, and Trials' with Samantha Vanderslott

For a long time, the concentration has been on attitudes to vaccination by those who are in opposition (the ‘anti-vax’), neglecting the majority who are supportive. In this talk, Samantha Vanderslott, author of Pro-vax Supporting Vaccines through Activism, Petitions, and Trials, aims to reconsider vaccination as a phenomenon from the perspective of those who are ‘pro-vax’, who actively support and vocally promote vaccines.

Using historical research, qualitative analysis, and accessible storytelling to explore how these vaccine advocates influence public attitudes, shape health policies, and inspire community action, Professor Vanderslott will not only highlight their underappreciated efforts but also provide practical insights for healthcare professionals, public health advocates, and academics striving to build vaccine confidence.
