MSU Extension webinar series connects public audiences to medical professionals

EmailWebinar series gives opportunity for the public to ask medical professionals vaccine-related questions
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.
