Friday, May 2, 2025, 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM EST, Massey Conference Center, Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens, Henrico, VA


Each year ImmunizeVA’s annual meeting provides an opportunity for medical and public health professionals to learn about immunization trends in the state and build new skills to implement promising and best practices. Every year our members identify top areas of interest within the field of immunizations to focus presentations and sessions on. The theme of this year’s meeting is ‘Stronger Together: Advancing Immunization Through Collaboration’. Virginia has not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels of routine immunizations, increasing the risk of an outbreak of a vaccine preventable disease. Vaccine hesitancy and skepticism have existed for decades, but many providers have not experienced the results of vaccine refusal through an outbreak of a vaccine-preventable disease, such as measles or pertussis. This could result in a lack of understanding in how to even identify these diseases, as well as minimize the sense of urgency in addressing vaccine hesitancy or refusal. These risks are compounded by a new set of challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The sessions presented will discuss current challenges practitioners are facing in Virginia and provide tools on how to address questions and hesitancy on vaccination with patients and through policy.

1. Learners will explain the current challenges to maintaining routine vaccination rates in Virginia.
2. Learners will identify macro and micro strategies to address vaccine hesitancy and refusal in their communities.
3. Learners will identify resources in tools available to promote vaccines to different audiences, including policy makers and patients.
