Join us on June 12 at noon for a conversation with Scott Hamstra of Grandparents for Vaccines.
Grandparents for Vaccines is a volunteer-led movement formed to mobilize the voices of all grandparents, and all who care for grandchildren, to share stories of how vaccines changed their world. Their mission is to ensure that America’s grandchildren have their best start in life without the threat of vaccine-preventable diseases. https://grandparentsforvaccines.org/
