Vaccinations are safe and protect the public from illness outbreaks.

This issue stems from anti-vaccination misinformation, which has spread through the internet like wildfire. This kind of information has led parents to question and, in many cases, not use this life-saving medicine.

Let’s use #SaludTues on Twitter on Tuesday, August 20, 2019, to discuss vaccinations and why they are so important for public health:

We’ll open the floor to relevant information, your stories, and collective experiences as we explore:

  • How vaccination access and awareness impact Latinos, all Americans?
  • Why are vaccines needed to maintain public health?
  • What vaccination-access barriers do minority groups face?

Be sure to use the hashtag #SaludTues to follow the conversation on Twitter and share information, stories, and advice about clean air quality and regulation.
