2023 NYS Public Health Partnership Conference

VaCS member Dr. Alyssa Kaganer presented a poster for VaCS at the 2023 NYS Public Health Partnership Conference. Her poster was entitled, “Vaccination Conversations with Scientists: Compassionate, science-backed conversations improve community perception of COVID-19 vaccination”.

Alyssa reports: “I had several great conversations about this program with conference attendees, and received interest from folks of neighboring counties in continuing to work together to advance the health of our communities!”

Thanks for sharing our work, Alyssa!
