Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
For a long time, the concentration has been on attitudes to vaccination by those who are in opposition (the ‘anti-vax’), neglecting the majority who are supportive. In this talk, Samantha Vanderslott, author of Pro-vax Supporting Vaccines through Activism, Petitions, and Trials, aims to reconsider vaccination as a phenomenon from the perspective of those who are ‘pro-vax’, who actively support and vocally promote vaccines.
Using historical research, qualitative analysis, and accessible storytelling to explore how these vaccine advocates influence public attitudes, shape health policies, and inspire community action, Professor Vanderslott will not only highlight their underappreciated efforts but also provide practical insights for healthcare professionals, public health advocates, and academics striving to build vaccine confidence.
