Michigan State University Extension’s Michigan Vaccine Project or MVP aims to connect rural Michiganders with science-based evidence and resources around vaccines to help them make informed health decisions for themselves and their families. One way this is accomplished is through a monthly webinar featuring a variety of healthcare professionals. The webinars give attendees the chance to learn about various vaccine-related topics and get their questions answered live. The webinars are recorded so those who are unable to attend live can watch the webinar after the fact when it is posted on the MVP website and the MI Stronger Family Facebook page. Webinars typically take place from 12:00-1:00 p.m. over Zoom and Facebook Live.  You can register for an upcoming webinar through the MVP events pages.

Upcoming Webinars:

August 30, 2023: Back to School Preparation with Katie Stanulis, NP

September 29, 2023: Vaccine Misinformation and Scientific Literacy with Dr. Anna Young Argyris

October 17, 2023: Travel Vaccines and Global Health with Dr. Mohamed Satti
