Recent outbreaks of measles, mumps and pertussis in North America–and the re-emergence of other vaccine preventable diseases–have brought the vaccination debate to the fore in Canada. This workshop will focus on the problem of vaccine hesitancy and the risk communication challenges it presents.

Part of the FPA Professional Institute program - We are excited to be offering six professional institutes this year at the Faculty of Public Affairs. These professional education opportunities are part of our mission at FPA to build a better society and stronger democratic institutions.
