Ask Us Anything: Communicating About Immunization in 2026


It’s no secret that 2025 presented many new communications challenges for those on the frontlines of public health. From measles outbreaks throughout the country to shifting immunization guidance, public health communicators had to navigate crisis and confusion while maintaining steady messaging for their communities.

And while last year was marked by uncertainty, we also witnessed the formation of meaningful cross-sector partnerships, increased community engagement, and the growth of peer networks and conversations in public health. Now more than ever, public health communicators can’t afford to go it alone.

So, kick off this year with your peers for a dynamic discussion on a topic that will continue to shape public health in 2026: immunization. Share your burning questions about the immunization schedule, disinformation from federal institutions, and so much more with experts in communications, epidemiology, immunization, and public health.
