SUMMARY:Carolina Science Cafe: US Vaccination Programs
DESCRIPTION:US Vaccination Programs: Reasons for Optimism and Action\n\n\n\nWhat unites Americans? Being vaccinated! More of us get vaccines than use smartphones\, own cars\, or watch reality TV. In May’s installation\, Professor of Health Behavior Dr. Melissa B. Gilkey will share research on the parent advocates and clinical champions who make US vaccination programs possible. In addition\, we will discuss ways to support these programs to ensure that we all have the opportunity to protect our families from measles\, human papillomavirus (HPV) cancers\, and other vaccine-preventable diseases.  \n\n\n\nDesigned for adults\, Carolina Science Cafe is a free program that explores science topics making national and international headlines\, offering the chance to meet the experts behind the work. This special program is hosted at Haw River Tap & Table in Carrboro on the first Tuesday of every month. Light appetizers are available for all attendees. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nMelissa B. Gilkey\, PhD\, (she/her) is a Professor of Health Behavior in the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health. With research interests in cancer prevention and adolescent health\, she studies ways to help healthcare providers communicate about vaccines\, often with a focus on the HPV vaccine. \n\n\n\n\nLearn more about Dr. Gilkey\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarolina Science Cafe is produced by Morehead Planetarium and Science Center and sponsored by the UNC Chapter of Sigma Xi. \n\n\n\nYou do not need to register…just show up!
