Public Health Communications Collaborative infographics and toolkits
The Public Health Communications Collaborative (PHCC) continues to create timely resources to bolster public health communications. Recently, they created easy-to-read resources on whooping cough and measles. These resources can be given to patients and families to help inform them on what the infection is, what to do when exposed or sick, and what treatments may be suggested. A third handout dispels myths about Vitamin A and distinguishes between the MMR and MMRV vaccines.

A crash course in podcasting
As podcasts continue to grow as a convenient and accessible way to communicate about health, the Public Health Communications Collaborative (PHCC) recently hosted a webinar titled “Comms Crash Course: Podcasting to Amplify Public Health Messages.” For those interested in launching a podcast, view the webinar to learn from communicators who have been successful in this area, including tips on production tools. For those who aren’t ready to take on producing a podcast, this is still worth a listen for recommendations on podcasts in science and health, mental health, comedy, and more.
Vaccine Integrity Project
The Vaccine Integrity Project is a new initiative started by the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota. The initiative is dedicated to safeguarding vaccine use in the U.S. and aims to engage individuals across the immunization landscape. Thus far, the project has conducted a series of discussions with individuals from across the vaccine and public health ecosystem. While the group establishes next steps, they have been most productive in authoring well-cited viewpoints on recent changes, such as COVID-19 vaccine recommendations and the composition of the ACIP committee.
