About the Booklet

Vaccines are life-saving. Vaccine misinformation can instill fear that prevents people from getting this crucial component of health care. The Vaccine Fears Overturned by Facts Booklet is a collaboration between Immunize Kansas Coalition and the creators of Back to the Vax, Heather Simpson and Lydia Greene. It's intended to be a factual rebuttal with personal stories to address common vaccine myths. Whether you're a parent, someone who has a fear of needles, or a clinician caring for patients on immunization day, this booklet is for you. Below you can find the one-page summary for the booklet, single-question handouts, and the full Vaccine Fears Overturned by Facts PDF.
