Immunization is a hot media topic.
With the correct facts at your fingertips, you will have an excellent opportunity to educate the reporter who contacts you about how vaccines save lives, what would happen if we stopped vaccination, and other vaccine safety issues. To help you promote the facts about immunization to the media and the public, CDC has compiled a packet of powerful and important facts that any good reporter would want to know before turning in her or his story to an editor. CDC also plans to distribute a 350-word article to local newspapers and magazines by the end of August. CDC's information combined with your own knowledge will help get the message out that immunization saves lives. You can download this packet of immunization information from CDC's website.
