“Navigating vaccine decision-making and conversations today”
In this talk, Dr. Gur-Arie will share some insights into the ‘state-of’ vaccines today, particularly the American context. Why are vaccines such a polarized topic? What are the implications of moving the decision to get vaccinated away from the institutional into the individual sphere? Why can’t we seem to talk about vaccines anymore? These are some questions that might be explored. It’s hard to give answers to these questions, but Dr. Gur-Arie aims to facilitate conversation during this talk.
