We aren’t associated with ImmunizeAR, but I wanted to shout out a fellow non-profit group trying to make Arkansas healthier. They are selling the CUTEST vaccine shirts and 100% of proceeds go to support the work of Immunize Arkansas. There are four styles. Place your order by Monday, July 14th (before midnight). I’m totally buying the Swiftie one!
They are hosting their yearly Immunization Summit on August 8th, 2025. Their early bird rate ENDS JULY 11! So, sign up now. It looks some great information about talking to people about vaccines (which, if you wear those shirts you’ll get to do a lot of), and how to find trustworthy sources of information.
Did you know vaccinations significantly impact antimicrobial resistance (AMR)? Vaccines prevent infections, thus obviating the need for antibiotic treatment and consequently reducing the selective pressure that drives AMR. They also protect vulnerable groups, improving their health outcomes.
Immunization and stewardship go hand-in-hand!
